Modeller Build Logs

Type 2 Ka-Mi

I was shipped this example by Airedale some time ago. A renewed hull was also shipped to me from whence I have started the kit. I reviewed the kit some time ago for track-link also. Since I did the review I have come across some parts that need to be addressed in the build that I will point out in the BLOG. I feel very fortunate to have this kit and will try to do it justice. This is one vehicle I would love to see in plastic but probably never will. Reference that I use will be also pointed out along with the build.

Cable PulleysJun 18, 2008
The instructions don't mention them but the cable pulleys for the rear float rudders are supplied in the kit. The parts on the carrier blocks are number '39' and '40'. Instructions mentioned another part as 40 but it is a different part. Blue tape shows the position of the pulleys on the rear float. There is also a lifting handle marked with blue tape. The resin handle was replaced with brass rod.
