Kawasaki Ki-61 Tony....

This Aircraft was the only fighter with in-line engine produced in quantities by Japanese industry in WWII. Moreover, the engine was a licensed Daimler Benz 601 known as Ha-40 in Japan.
This engine conditions the general design of the nose of the aircraft, then, Ki-61 front end resembled its German cousin, Bf109. For modellers, this machine is a treasure because the number of schemes used in it. I also could not resist the temptation.
The kit is the excellent Hasegawa in 1/48 and I tried to simulate the camouflage pattern known as "palm tree" or "palm leaves", consisting in long paint lines across the wing. The difficult is to simulate the correct pattern of the lines according to real job by a painter: walk just a pair of steps on the wing and move the pistol with his arms, causing a large semicircle of paint. My next project will be better.
