Yokosuka K5Y Willow...

This little known plane was the most important training plane in the Imperial Japanese Navy in the thirties. It's design shows a very typical considerations of the period such the swept upper wings as a solution to increase the stability, the use of radial engines was the rigueur at the time specially in Japan -because the in-line motors development was a serious drawback in japanese industry- but the final result was a very good intermediate trainer with limited aerobatics capabilities.
The kit -superb- is from ARII in 1/48. Extraordinary level of details and perfect match requiring no putty at all. The size of the model is perfect to add some superdetailing or extra detailing. The only criticism is about the thickness of the decals, requiring a lot of softener, care and patience to obtain a satisfactory result.
