Finished another blast from the past......Nichimo 48th Ki-51 Sonia.

From a friends estate that was missing instructions and decals so I painted the markings (Chose an easy squadron to do!). The kit still builds up well and has very few fit issues. Biggest one for me was the canopy that did not fit without a bit of elbow grease. May not be accurate but I'm happy with it.

Impressive camo job! Was it all free-handed or did you do some sort of masking? Very sharp work in either case!

Thanks Gil. It was free-hand and although not perfect, I'm still happy with the outcome. Always wanted to try this and I figured 48th would be easier than 72nd.

Keith that is fantastic! Brilliant work on the camouflage! That is a bird to be proud of!
