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.

Steering CablesSep 24, 2008
Thread was used for the steering cables. The string was first painted Tamiya flat black than rubbed with a soft lead pencil. To attach the cables they were first cut to length. Ends were dipped in super glue, held in place with a tweezers and an old paint brush dipped in accelerator is touched onto the end to secure the cable.
