Nakajima KI-44 II KO Shoki "Demon Killer" WWII Japanese military fighter aircraft, 1/48 ARII kit.
This article is part of a series:
ARII kit + FM Details Set (the full cockpit is made of resin + photo etched parts).
Not an easy build but happy with the final result.
Made a wooden base with an illustration of the denomination "Shoki the Demon Killer" Zong Kui from the Middle Ages.
Thats one fine looking kite you built

Hello Louis, Many thanks for such a compliment! π
That's a real beauty! The model itself is fantastic - nice NMF work, beautiful scheme, nice weathering - and sitting on that base really makes it come alive. Well done.
Hi Greg, Many thanks for your kind words, you really made my day! π
Very nice Tojo, and the wood base also btw
Thanks a lot Pedro!
Very nice looking aircraft
Thank you George!
Nice work. A little extra detailing makes that old kit measure up to todayβs standards.
Thank you John. Yes defo, at the end ofthe day was a pleasure to build it.
Just goes to show how good the old Arii kits are. Add a bit of aftermarket bling, modelling ability and wow!
