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  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

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..  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
