Due to the comments of the Ki-43 I wil show you the Ki-45, it is from Hasegawa and it is so nice to build, only fun no problems. If this camo is to difficult, there are 2 more options in oliv with differen engine cowlings.No so easy to catch this kit.

how did you do the camo? Strings of silly putty?

nice job all around!

Yup...it did for me too...on 3-4 builds...then one day...disaster... it will melt into the paint and leave a residue that you will never...ever get rid of. I've seen several instances with other people too...just a friendly warning that blue poster putty is the way to go I think...been using it since and no problems.

hmmm

thanks Ill keep that in mind
