Mitsubishi Ki-46 III Night Fighter

When I started completing model airplanes after a 12 year hiatus, I was just building German and Russian aircraft for some reason. This is my first Japanese aircraft I completed in 12+ years.

Mitsubishi Ki-46 III– Kai night fighter in 1/72 scale. This was built out of box. Everything, including the markings on the tail and Hinomaru, were painted on.

This was completed in spring of 2021.
