1/144 Trumpeter Kawanishi Type 97

--------------------

 

This is my Kawanishi Type 97 Japanese Maritime Reconnaissance plane.  It was my first Trumpeter kit.  This kit was very easy to put together and the details were more than adequate for 1/144 scale.  This was my first propeller plane, and took me only 30 hours to complete.  I built this kit straight from the box.  I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a simple quick build.

The biggest challenge of this kit was masking all the small windows.  If anyone wants to practice their masking skills, this is the kit.
