Indeed, as an injected kit is rare as hen teath... However, there are lot of them in resin, by Choroszy (https://www.scalemates.com/companies/company.php?id=656&p=list).

More than a thousand of these were built..... True - a very important light bomber and recce aircraft. And used by the Japanese till 1940. Only Potez 25/27, Breguet XIX, Polikarpov R-5, Hawker Hart, Fairey III and Fokker C.V did better in whole interwar period. As for Choroszy resin models, unfortunately they have one unpleasant feature. The Type 88-2 kit and the Type 88-1 released 15 years later are based on totally different drawings and have not a single part in common. As a result, when placed side by side, they do not look like two versions of the same plane. The same flaw also affected Choroszy kits of their carrier-borne contemporaries (Mitsubishi B2M1 and B2M2).

JWM Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) I have found that it was in use till 1940, so should be in use during the Scond Sino-Japanese War but googling on this did not brought any result. Does any expert know more on use of it at the late 1930-ies? Regards J-W Edited August 3, 2021 by JWM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
