The starting point for this project.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/7/9/6/1401796-14709-50-720.jpg)
Some accessories are used.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/7/9/2/1401792-14709-74-720.jpg)
Fuselage too long?
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/7/9/3/1401793-14709-13-720.jpg)
Wings too wide?
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/7/9/4/1401794-14709-20-720.jpg)
No, the drawings are too small. 2 mm missing in width.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/7/9/1/1401791-14709-89-720.jpg)
First dry fit.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/7/9/5/1401795-14709-48-720.jpg)
Poor interior details in the cockpit and lots of ugly ejector marks. This is where Eduard's etched parts come in handy.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/9/9/8/1403998-14709-49-720.jpg)
All details on the sidewalls removed.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/6/1/1/1411611-14709-87-720.jpg)
The first etched parts are glued - everything is a very fragile matter.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/1/2/5/1431125-14709-16-720.jpg)
More fiddly etched parts glued.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/4/2/2/1432422-14709-68-720.jpg)
Mitsubishi Interior Green for the interior 😉
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/6/5/9/1433659-14709-15-720.jpg)
First dry fit with almost complete interior... most will disappear and never seen again after glueing.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/4/8/8/1435488-14709-16-720.jpg)
The last parts of the interior have found their place.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/4/8/9/1435489-14709-28-720.jpg)
Time for the last photo before all the splendor disappears between the glued fuselage halves.

Hinomarus painted on.
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/6/6/3/1439663-14709-42-720.jpg)
Decals applied - they worked very bad.
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/2/8/7/1440287-14709-14-720.jpg)
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/4/1/5/1440415-14709-10-720.jpg)
Last parts mounted...

![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/4/1/7/1440417-14709-43-720.jpg)
... and now we have a finished Ki-46!

Well Frank, since my vacation ends today, I had to hurry up with the painting - next week the time budget for model building will be significantly smaller again.

You are amazing. Next time I'll take your cue and make the circles with masks.

Yes, no decal can quite match the appearance of painted national insignia - even if the form is as simple as that of the Hinomarus... 👍

This Japanese metallic blue hurts the eyes. But that ain't your fault. Another beautiful build from your bench; and about time you change the teaser to a pic of you model instead of the historical pic. 🙂

After a great paint job a fantastic weathering! What paint do you use for this metallic scratches? And applied with a brush or sponge? I need to learn!
