Interesting KI-61 Skin
« on: June 06, 2010, 07:33:45 AM »
I've always thyought this was one of the better looking KI-61 paint jobs.  I'm surprised this one hasn't been done yet.

It is a nice looking skin, but sadly all the Ki skins are filled up with practicably the same paint job.

Sounds like the A6M, seems the Japanese were a bit more firm on how they allowed their planes to be painted, at least from what I've seen.

Is it a legit aircraft or is it some artist's interpretation?

The overall paint scheme is legit, but I believe there is some debate as to the shamrock being painted on after it was found by the troops taking pictures of it.

At least, that's what I recall when looking up decal references and scale model forums way back.

I've always wanted to skin that one, but not until the Ki61 is redone.   Too much time and effort in skinning to have it made obsolete when the Tony is finally updated.

I still have a thing for the Ki61.
