Guy Rump AutorThanks Daniel, I used a combination of a tooth pick and a rough brush to get the effects. 👍

Guy Rump AutorWith the decals on and some minor weathering, I have now completed the Ki-43. 🙂
This aircraft denotes that flown by Sergeant Major Tomio Hirohata during 1943 as part of 59 Sentai (Fighter Group) in Papua New Guinea. He was later KIA on 22 Apr 1945. An ace, he had 14 attributed kills. This number, as all attributed kills for the IJAAF and IJNAF, can represent whole, shared, probable, damaged, ground/water & imagined victories.

JohnA lot of Ki-43s on SCM recently - it's certainly a popular subject. Good job. Did you use Vallejo paints during the build?

Guy Rump AutorVery many thanks Mark K, John G & Roland for your kind comments. @John G, yes, the paints were all Vallejo Model Air. 🙂
