I've been following Ronnie's work on Facebook for a while now, and he's hands down my favorite profile artist. Beautiful work, and Nick, I great look forward to reading what you've written on this a/c and adding it to my Ki-61 library references. <br /><br />WarrenWDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204900692700819218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-89262052122159551142015-12-20T13:08:06.788+00:002015-12-20T13:08:06.788+00:00Hi Nicholas,

There's a good chance I'll do some Chinese Ki-27, Ki-44 and Ki-61 profiles at some point.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />RonnieRonnie Olsthoornhttp://www.facebook.com/AviationArt.Aeronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-86804664093473667992015-12-19T07:03:58.113+00:002015-12-19T07:03:58.113+00:00Got it!

I'm sipping it page by page, profile by profile - it arrived just in time to complete a Kobayashi '61 model in Yellow-Green #7. The cobalt blue stripe compels me to re-paint the fuselage but it definitely is worth the pain.<br />Many thanks to you both Nick and Ronnie for this long awaited job.<br />Best Regards <br /><br />Danilo Danilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357346456822995831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-83766531566968426242015-12-16T20:16:08.966+00:002015-12-16T20:16:08.966+00:00Wonderful treatment of the a/c!

The side views of the a/c esp. the Ki-61 were most helpful, in seeing just where the fuselage was stretched on the Ki-61! The profiles are quite a cut above what one normally sees, great references for camouflage and markings. Excellent work! Bring some more on....<br />Pat D <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-7820860094381006142015-12-16T09:19:45.597+00:002015-12-16T09:19:45.597+00:00Thanks Dan and Ronnie - blush!

The other day I received my complimentary copies and I'm halfway reading the book now. It's a great read so far, as expected! It's been a long time in the making for sure, but the results justify it.<br /><br />I enjoyed working with you on the artwork for this and the previous Osprey titles. It's great to get your competent and well-researched input and particularly your excellent research on colours and markings makes my life a lot easier and ensures a result as accurate as possible, three-quarters of a century later.<br /><br />On to our next cooperation!<br /><br />RonnieRonnie Olsthoornhttp://www.aviationart.aeronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-64808996661424655292015-12-15T15:57:38.527+00:002015-12-15T15:57:38.527+00:00That's a given Nick :-)
