I picked this Fujimi
kit up some years ago when I was in Tokyo. Like many 1930's Japanese single
engine planes, the Ki 55 has very clean and quite elegant lines, and I
have always thought it was a very pretty little plane. The kit is very straight
forward with quite basic interior detail, and offers markings for three options
of a an orange military trainer, a camouflaged version on operations in China,
or the scheme I chose to use. No contest really as I feel the simple grey scheme
and civil registrations suited it very well. There was also a choice of
undercarriage with spatted or un-spatted wheels, and I seem to recall two
canopies were included as well. All in all, this was a nice simple kit to build
with good options.
