One of the problems with the kit is for the trainer variant they have re-molded to canopy, but the cockpit interior does not provide a proper seat of detail for the dorsal position. I presume this would have been an instructor seat?
I'd never paid much attention to the Ki46, but the more I worked on it, the more I realised it has really beautiful lines - up in the same class as the Mosquito IMHO
I used a light matt yellow undercoat with the idea this would give a bit or warmth to the orange. Not sure if this was a good idea in the end - made the orange too bright I think?
This time, I decided to try @propblurmodels for in-flight effect, and I really like it. I think I could push the fade of the painting even further for more realism.
