1/300 Japanese WW II Aircraft

[otftch]

These are some old Nichimo Japanese Aircraft models. I don't remember the exact scale but they are larger than 1/350 and much smaller than 1/200. They came about six to a box. I built them about 30 years ago when I still had eyes. I don't complain much about the ravages of time but I had a hard time setting up the photo of the parts this morning,they were so small !

Excellent collection, otftch.

I don't remember if it was Nichimo and exact scale but my elder borther was also collecting such small models about 45 years ago. I was always careless to handle them to break antenna. landing gear...

They're real Beauties Ed, and very small. There was a company around at about the same time who did very small scale stuff, including buildings, docks etc. I started making a B17 8th AF base, using the tiny B17's and some of the dockside buildings and hangars. Haven't a clue what happened to the aircraft, but I still have some of the buildings. Wish I could find the aircraft kits again. There was something like 20 aircraft to a kit, in the form of B17's, P51's and P38's and others I can't recall, and other kits with tiny trucks and so on.
