Description
A Ki-61-1 of Major Tembico Kobayashi of the 244th Air Combat Regiment in Japan. Mr. Kobayashi was an japanese air ace and the youngest Commander of the JAAF. He shot down the most B-29. This aircraft was just delivered before it got the camoflage painting. He lost some aircraft. The blue strip and the red tail were the signs of the commanders aircraft.
Unsatisfied with the first version here is the actual version of the picture. :-)

Very nice. I like the interaction of the pilots. It adds an involvement that draws one's interest into the scene. Very good job!

This works well now with the two figures....difficult just having one. I agree that you should have kept the first posting...I think it helps for newer members to see the development of our scenes so they can learn from it.

Excellent work!

Amazing the difference just adding one figure makes.The first version drew the attention to the aircraft, this brings the character in your text to the fore. I must agree with London244, leaving the original would have been good for showing scene development. Excellent image both times, really vibrant and lifelike... 10/10

Great image and beautiful model. Not sure if Kobayashi's claim of 73B-29's is correct. The most I have seen listed is 20 and most records show somewhere from 5 - 12, (including a ramming attack)

I like the render, but I'm curious about Kobayashi's claims. I think The USAAF lost 147 B-29s due to fighters and flak. Did one japanese pilot really shoot down half of all B-29s lost to fighters/Flak?

Thank you folks. Well, may be the writer made a mistake and wrot a 7 for a 1, so he shoot down 12 and not 72. :-) Never trust the internet... :-)

A great scene, and the "Tony" looks fantastic...

Great scene. I also like the pilots. I am having such fun browsing your gallery today.

Nice capture of a moment in time...the Ki-61 looks an awful lot like the Messerschmitt (and knowing the Japanese, probably an improvement on an already pretty deadly, if dated aircraft)...
