Empire of Japan Group Build. 1/48 Fine Molds Nakajima “Kikka” Jet
75 Years ago today this plane took it's very first flight. It took a very long time to get airborne, so several days later another flight was made... or at least attempted. They had installed RATO pods under the wings in an effort to [...]
