Here is my latest
build. Still a beginner, I was aiming at producing a model with heavy
weathering, using as much masking as I could for the markings. This is a nice
kit, and I was able to finish it in a little bit less than two months. The only
correction I've made was to suppress the wing's landing light, as there was none
on a Ki-43-I (Only on late Ki-43-II and III).

Most of the markings
were done using Tamiya tape, and Gunze paint. The trick is: Thin your paint so
that it's a little bit more thick than usual. This way, the paint doesn't go
under the tape.
For the heavy
weathering effect, I did use some masking sol, rubbed off after two coats of
paint.
In the end, many
lessons learned, and a very enjoyable build.
