Wow, those Ki-43s and P-40s look amazing.  Makes me want to find time to get mine out! ;)

Jack,

Let me know if you need any color schemes for them. I have plenty of references and am happy to share.

Terry,

Thanks man, but mine are already done (they're 1/600 and don't look anything near as good as yours!):


Some Tigers chasing Japanese bombers.


Some Wildcats.


Some Zeros.


Some Ki-43s.


And some Bettys (Betties?).

V/R,

No worry jack. if you need any info down the road, always happy to share.

I think your planes look fine, and your colors look very accurate. I'd sure be pleased with them!

One thing I've learned from many years of doing this hobby, as long as one does their best and has fun doing it, then no need to compare to others. Mainly because there will always be some one out there whose better. And, bottom line, they all play the same.

Look good, but didn't all US aircraft only carry the national marking on one wing ?

From Feb 43. Before that, they were on both wings.

I am guessing those P-40s are Flying Tigers while serving with the Chinese so would have Chinese markings which went on both wings.

Ah yes, my bad, I thought you were referring to the P-40s as your post did not specify and I saw no error on the Wildcats. However as has already been stated the F4Fs are still correctly done.
