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.

Final Major PaintingJul 7, 2008
This series of photos show the finishing of the last major pieces to be painted. I have used the gray for painting and was startled when I read the Ka-Mi were painted dark green. These would be encountered on Saipan and the Philippines. So I am going to finish the vehicle as they appeared in Rabul. Thanks to Taki for this one.
