1/144 Ki-51, 27th Hikosentai
Here is the other kit I was working on. It is a Scissors and Planes kit, repainted by me.
I was inspired to do this, after seeing a workbench review of a kit in FineScale Modeler a few months back. According to what research I could find, this aircraft was based in Burma, and used as an attack bomber. There are pictures of Ki-51s with spotted/squiggle camouflage, but I could find no definitive proof a specific pattern or colors. I would this is a possibly accurate scheme. I added the pitot tube, antenna cable, polished propeller front face, and a spinner turned on my motor tool. Thanks for stopping in.

Looks fantastic! Great job.
I've always liked those earlier(pre-1941) Japanese planes like Ki-51, Ki-27 or Ki-30. Well done!

Another wonderful model, Ray. The Ki-51 is, to my eye, one of the best-looking Japanese Army aircraft of the Pacific War. I see your usual outstanding display, as well.''
I sure hope that circumstances will permit me to see this one at Sterling this fall. Don |

Thank you all for your kind comments!
@CMDRTED - Ten years later, and I still remember the cumbersome, hot, uncomfortable "NBC" chem gear we had to wear. Always 12 hrs at a time. Fortunately, there was only one period I had to wear it for realsies. But that was another time.
