Nakajima KI-44 II KO Shoki “Demon Killer” WWII Japanese military fighter aircraft, 1/48 ARII kit.
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.

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.

Just goes to show how good the old Arii kits are. Add a bit of aftermarket bling, modelling ability and wow!
