Brengun Yokosuka MXY7-K1 Kai 1/48

[Mu17]

On their Facebook site Brengun has announced a 1/48   Yokosuka Ohka MXY7 K1-Kai two seat Kamikaze trainer ref BRP48005

The box art suggests that this is will be a very nice model with all the detail net possible in 1/72.

I was interested to see they have dropped the reference to Model 43 which appeared on their 1/72 version.

As far as I can tell the glider was converted from two Ohka MXY7 K1 single seat training gliders  . Although it was intended for training pilots of the never built, rail launched  Model 43, it was derived from Model 11/MXY7 airframes and not from the unbuilt Model 43.  Its only in the last few years that NASM has corrected their listing - despite the fact that in original paint MXY7-K1 Kai has always been plainly stencilled on the side ! and that stencil can be red on the 1/72 model !!
