I want to create a 'defend the recon plane' scenario and the Ki-46 seemed like an excellent choice. It's a beautiful aircraft with the glazed cockpit section. Again rather than strict historical accuracy for painting I wanted to get a nice colorful model for on-table play so the camouflage is a combination night fighter/French Indochina scheme, though Ki-46s were used for recon in Manchuria and China so it's not entirely out there.
I forgot to get a plain primed photo, so it starts with the initial coat for dark brown. And of course, no decals (yet).
Initial dark brown areas
Light brown areas
Dark Green areas
Black underside
Cockpit painting and fine details
Now, I've notice finding decals for Japanese squadron tail markings seems to be non-existent, though hopefully I can work something out. In the meantime once the meatball decals arrive I will get them applied.
