Homebee Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Finemolds is to release in July 2018 a 1/48th Mitsubishi Ki-15 /C5M2 Karigane or "Babs" - ref. FB24 Source: http://www.finemolds.co.jp/iroiro/2018SHS_new.html Source: https://hlj.com/shizuoka-hobby-show-2018-sneak-peek Quote Fine Molds' next exciting model kit release is the IJN Type 96 Reconnaissance Aircraft 12. The Type 96 underwent improvements in 1942, and the result was the Type 96 Reconnaissance Aircraft 12, which could fly at greater speed than the original. This aircraft was used for various reconnaissance missions such as guarding bombers, weather, etc., and it was equipped with the same Sakae engine as the Zero Fighter Type 2. This is the first 1/48 kit of this aircraft to include the No. 3 bomb! V.P. Edited December 17, 2018 by Homebee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 This is on my list to get. I am definitely going to need to buy masks for this too - that's quite the greenhouse. The way they have done the internal structure to add to the cockpit is interesting and looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masinissa Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The only nitpick I have with the kit is that it has a one piece canopy. Sure I can cut the canopy open, but it will have to be on a caffeine free day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
