Heres the second Mania ki51 Sonia , done in the seldom seen dark blue scheme. This is the reconnaissance version so no tiny bombs this time and a camera in the rear cockpit ( which I forgot to put in
)
A lesson from the first build was the decals can be a bit see through so this time I decided to paint the hinomaru and just use the decals for the tail markings. The hardest part was getting a bit of interest in the solid blue , I eventually ended up using a light dirt wash to highlight the panel lines a little.
