Japanese Army Ki-61 Hien "Tony" 1:72 Revell

Kawasaki Ki-61 Army type 3 Hien "Tony", cn. 3295,
Reg. Commander T.Kobayashi, 244th Sentai, Japan, 1945
Revell kit out-of-the-box except the Hasegawa stand for 1:200 civil airliners. Green camouflage freehand airbrushed, otherwise with a paintbrush. Final clearcoat Revell Matt.

I wish I had the Aircraft in Profile volume for reference, but this Revell oldie kit (with rivets and all) was nice to build anyway with less knowledge about the original plane. Found out after finished this model that it was kind of a copy of German He-100 and Bf-109 types, which is quite obvious now that I think of it. Could try some more Japanese fighters too, perhaps a 1/72 Hasegawa some day?
