Thank you, thank you, thank you, I have worked on improving my qualities to do these things. Although I still have a lot to be able to do detailed as some of our forum colleagues do, think that I have low budget tools what I invest is airbrushes which is what you earn your money doing decorations work motorcycle helmets or RC devices.
now next batch of photos of the cockpit, almost finished platform and the integral seat of homemade ralizacion in lamina of brass of 0,13mm, here you will see what I tell you that I have to improve
I will continue working, I have to make some panels, watches and controls to start detailing the sides of the cockpit, little by little that does not suffer the arm, which has already ruled that the radial nerve of both arms are damaged, on Thursday traumatologo to see the degree of damage if I have to operate on my right arm and see when the left one.

Nice scratch work Sergio.
Nice.....
Sorry late to party, I have been building a new pc and just got scanner hooked up. Sergio, not sure if you have seen these but as you read the top set of photos came from a propaganda movie in Thailand. Maybe if you can find the movie there may be better shots. Page was scanned from book below which I own.
According to this book the KI-43s came to Thailand with different, field applied camouflage. During the first stage of the types service with the RTAF the White Elephant markings were applied on the vertical fin and under the wing, while the upper wing surfaces retained the standard Japanese Hinomaru to ensure they where not miss-identified by Japanese fighters.
The book has about 19 pages on the Thai air force and navy on a variety of aircraft. As for pictures it has the same two you posted on the Ki-43 other then the page I posted.
Hope it helps.

if that is what I already knew and I think it was what I put in the introduction of the work and if not, thank you for complementing it, all the information is good and it improves the work of historically detailing the device. thanks brother of arms

What a good scratch job so far, Sergio. 
It is always very satisfying to be able to improvise improvements to our models, adding details with materials that we can adapt.
As you say, it's much cheaper and you use different materials differently. Ingenuity and creativity are the limit.
Let your situation with the arms follow the correct course and get out of this physical problem as soon as possible and in the best conditions.
To be honest.
