Heres the first of a brace of ki51 Sonias from defunct japanese maker Mania. First tooled in 1975 this has a thoroughly modern feel with a decent interior and fine recessed panel lines .

A wonderful result. Masking that canopy and the camo scheme - all credit to your patience and skill.
Great result Tony, love the camo 
cheers

I know nothing about wingy thingys but I know I like that alot.
That is impressive camo - and to have completed across the canopy as well. I'd be well chuffed to get that level of detail for a 1/72
Lovely result Tony, I enjoyed following your build of this little kit. The camouflage is very eye-catching. I look forward to seeing the dark blue version.
Great result Tony, love the camo
Thanks guys
That camo came out great
Did it take long? Need much practice?

Great work on the camouflage Tony, and a cracking build.
Cheers paul , actually I was surprised it didnt take longer . Probably about an hour in total , but split into three sessions - after a bit your eyes need a reset ! The hardest thing was avoiding repeating the shapes and unwittingly making a recognisable pattern . The paint pen was a revelation though - not having to constantly keep loading up the brush or worry about paint drying on the tip saved a load of time .
Cheers Ian , ive got some more subjects in the stash that might be getting the paint pen treatment !
