Ki-15-I. Part 1

Not one of the higher profile Japanese aircraft, the Mitsubishi Ki-15 was nonetheless an important and quite successful recce machine for the Army in the late 1930s.
 I suspect that this Arii kit is quite an old tooling but parts finish is very crisp and fit very good. The poor alignment and gaps are all my own work...
 It’s a fairly basic kit - especially if you don’t bother with the internal details, so the build was pretty quick. Parts are included for various versions - different engine cowlings, propellers and cockpit canopies. I’ll be keeping it simple and going with an early version.
