LN-KEH Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Kora / LF Models have released Kawanishi Baika II and Baika III injection moulded plastic kits in 1:72. Looks like a cross between a manned V-1 and the Japanese Baka kamikaze weapon. https://www.lfmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5_73&products_id=3861 https://www.lfmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5_73&products_id=3862 Edited March 5, 2022 by LN-KEH correcting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawanishi Baika Type I Model: KPK72141 Kawanishi Baika Type II Model: KPK72146 Kawanishi Baika Type III Model: KPK72148 Yeah, those pics look like they're all of the same spures. But, the LF site has 'em labeled as being unique for each kit. So... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I bought a Type I and a Type III. Same sprues, as expected. The difference being what parts get left on the sprues in your building the different variants. These are basic and simple little kits. Well enough done and look to be simple enough builds. The Type I was apparently meant to take off from a runway and thus used landing gear that was dropped upon becoming airborne. The attachment locations for the gear leaves plenty of room for your creativity - i.e. there is none. So, a bit of judicious judiciousness is in order there. Otherwise? The kits look fine enough rendered. The proof will be in the building but I'm not anticipating much problems there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
