You're a man of few words Fuad but your model subjects say it all.

Very realistic paint job & stunning weathering! If not stated, i would think without a doubt this is 1/32 scale... very Nice work!😲

Superb build and finish, congrats on your Shoki

[Andwil]

Wow, I thought this was a large scale model from the pics.  The green does look a bit bright though.

Excellent upper surface finish, but most artworks of this commonly-depicted plane (including Japanese ones), show brown finish on these early Ki-44. Also, landing gear looks to be at full extension, which gives it a 'tip-toes' look.

[ArmouredSprue]

Fabulous model. The weathering is spot on.

[ArmouredSprue]

One question Fuad, how did you make the wing lights?

[Rich G]

Fuad,

 

Raising the standards of what can be done at 1/72 scale one model at a time!

 

I'd love to know how you attain such a high standard of weathering, I imagine it's a series of processes but the end result is as always simply stunning!

Super job on the painting and weathering!

[Lanmi]

Great chipping. I would like to hear how you did it.

[Dave N]

Great weathering and finish- amazing for 1/72 in fact.

It's ready lights from belorussian sets - "Elf" named. http://www.scalefan.ru/blog/347/

I used the original Nakajima Green color from Mr Hobby. And the brightness of the color is apparently associated with the technology of applying this particular coloration. It was necessary to not make a solid color, but an uneven coating.

 I cannot add anything that has not already been said other than to say very impressive work.

Very nice, indeed. I never achieved such results with pencils. I seems that I don't get matt enough finish to successful apply pencil scratch marks.
