Kayaba Ka-Go...autogiro La Cierva in japanese hands

Juan La Cierva is the most prominent spanish aircraft designer, famous for design and construct the first practical rotary wing aircraft. This singular device was licenced all over the world with great success in the thirties.  This model represent the japanese licensed version. The initial batch was powered by an air cooled star engine and the later replaced by the extraordinary german Argus As10c in line engine.
Too small and light for transport duties, all La Cierva auto-gyros saw very limited use in its operational lives...at those times, rotary wing devices needs a quantum leap of development to became the versatile and useful airship of today.
The kit is a little gem in 1/72 scale by Fine Molds. I remember that this small kit costs me a little fortune, but the quality of the molds reduced the pain in my wallet.
