This is my latest model, the 1/72 scale MPM Ki-83. A very nice kit to build but the engine nacelles took up most of the building time.
I used Model Master enamels and mixed my own colors, decals are from Aeromaster....this model is a what-if as no Ki-83s saw action during the war.

G'day,
Great photography and nice use of a backdrop. Terrific groundwork and finally, brilliant model.
(gee, how many more adjectives can I use?)

Thanks for the kind words drabslab and Jesper!
Speaking of backdrops I have painted a new backdrop since I finished the Ki-83.
Here are some pics of it in progress...
And here is the backdrop in use.
