Description Kawasaki Ki-48 Sokei (Codename "Lily")
75th Attack Air Regiment, New Guinea 1943

Japanese medium (or light) bomber, inspired by european fast two-engined bombers of the mid 30s, especially the Tupolev ANT-40.
What the IJAAF ended up with was a slow aircraft with a lot of technical difficulties and terrible flight characteristics.

I guess the fact that it could carry less bombs than a Typhoon or literally any other fighter of the time says everything.

How long did it take you to draw it?

Honestly, no idea.
Might be around 20 - 25 hours, over a time of four weeks.

Very nice precise work. I think i never put so much work for the pencil. Oil paintings i think take me that long.

You probably mean the Ki-49

Ugh, I have't played that game for ages so i can't remember the names. The "Donryu" I think. Anyhow, that game's so broken now and the developers and mods don't give a damn about the players. All Gaijin cares about is making money - too much money-making. I'm glad I abandoned it - my life's peaceful and stress-free now.
