Taking a few weeks, I have overhauled this old camera to work again.
This has been a good chance to learn old technologies.



Old paper fragments to adjust focus


Reassembled


Testing focus
 
Type Ki-27 "Kitakaze" single seat fighter.

A nickname "Kitakaze (North Wind)" of which I have never heard is given to this Ki-27 scale model by Masaaki Kitaguchi in 1942. If there had been an improved version of Ki-27 with 3-blade propeller and retractable landing gear, it might have looked like this. Looks a good job.
