Kawasaki Ki100-I Koh Type 5 Fighter (Tony) '5th Flight Regiment'

My first completed kit in 2017: Kawasaki Ki-100-I Koh Type 5 Fighter from Hasegawa, 1:48th scale - white “177” of the 2nd Chutai, 59 Sentai, Ashiya, Kiusiu near Fukuoka, 1945.

I used Eduard’s photoetched parts dedicated to this kit, in its interior as well as for the exterior of the model. Next are the wheel well covers, where I used a mix of photoetched and resin parts form QB. QB also produced the horizontal tail planes and exhaust stacks (not visible on the photos).
Paints used here are Vallejo’s White Aluminium, Tamiya’s IJA Green, Gunze’s H79 and IJA Green inside the cockpit.

Markings have been sprayed with use of Montex and DIY masks.

Not fully happy with the result, especially the weathering - most of my efforts simply vanished after a flat clear spray cote.
