This is a recolour of one of Bruno's recent Japanese subjects. This is his Mitsubishi Ki-51 'Sonia' in the markings of 10th Sentai, JAAF out of Hollandia in 1944.
Models has been submitted to Ecards.

That's mighty fine work, Garry.

The Ki-51 sure was a good-looking airplane.

By coincidence, I was reading about the air operations in Hollandia just before looking at this thread.

Very nice Sonia.I tried doing similar pattern on Aarons Ki-51 and failed.I'm glad you succeeded.

Like many Japanese designs it was very underrated aircraft.Just looking at performance figures on Wiki pages it was much lighter,good deal faster and better climbing than Ju-87 while having similar bomb load.

For entertainment purposes I found a cutaway drawing of its cockpit

Great work on that Ki-51, Garry!

I envy you having so much love and passion for these planes. You're a real aviation enthusiast.There's no doubt. All your planes are perfectly built.

This Fokker Dr.I is in the striking scheme of Lt. Ernst Udet of Jasta 4 in mid 1918. I like how it turned out so I got the urge to tackle some more repaints of this little Bruno gem.
Keep an eye out on Ecards if you're interested in making one yourself.
