Paint job work improves with every new version? This KI 61 rendering is truly amazing... A big WOW to HTC, it's even better than the 202/205 difficult paint job.
I feel that your skills and mastery of plane renderings are better everytime.

As a side note, I'm happy to have Kobayashi's Ki61, I incidentaly fell in love with this paint job, as my "ex-wife" name is Kobayashi  

She was always proud of how nice looking the paint job was. I sent her the pics by email, she will have this childish look again hehehe.

HTC u guys made someone happy for sure, and she's not even a WW2 sim nutt

Did you also notice the way the wheels on the Tony looked? WOW! If Super and Nate add these to all the planes, it'd be great. If we get that, I think not too far in the future, we'll heve rolling wheels and tracks, and maybe even trasparent shadows.

Imagine the possabilities..

Thinking the same thing Frenchy.

It really is a gift to be able make models like that and skin them well.

But why did the Japanese choose such a gaudy paint scheme anyway? It looks like somthing you'd find at the Reno air races.  

The undercarriages have looked better and better on recent releases.

It might not be obvious, but it's actually bare metal(+ black antiglare nose from factory finish) overpainted with green splotches.

I dunno why all the racing stripes though.
