68th and 78th Sentai Ki-61s

[DarrylH]

Armaments in Miniature has a very nice Ki-61 Hien, and I'd like to request markings for the first Tonys to see serious, sustained combat with the 68th and 78th Sentais in New Guinea, where the Hiens gave the Allies quite a surprise, and, when in the air (their engines were very difficult to maintain, especially out in the field) gave almost as good as they got.

68th Sentai:

230604

230606

78th Sentai:


230607
230608

:) . Imperial Army aircraft schemes are right up there with those of the Regia Aeronautica in making investing in green fine point permanent markers almost a necessity.
