Kawasaki Ki-10 'Perry'; Vac Wings

[vacant]

Think Hawker Fury. Think Curtiss P6 Hawk. Then you will see how the Ki-10 (code name Perry) fits into aviation history. It entered service in 1935 but was obsolete by 1939 with 588 having been built.

The model is made from the Vac Wings kit (vacform). Not a lot to say about it.

I finished it in a camouflage colour scheme instead of the more common light green/grey of pre-WW2 Japanese aircraft. I cheated slightly in that this particular colour scheme was used on Ki-10s that had spats - the model does not. Perhaps it also sometimes flew without the spats. It's a detail that does not worry me unduly.

Great looking Perry

I really like the lesser known aircraft that you build as models. This is another unknown to me and as usual you have made a first class job of it.

Lovely stuff from a challenging vacform, as we have come to expect from you mate!

And that is a colourful scheme for sure!

Also, not a type I was familiar with. Interesting.

Cracking build of such an unusual (but also rather attractive) little plane; love it!

Super nice.

Another excellent build of a lesser known (at least to me ) type, Vacant.

[Miss-Stang]

Such an unusual little plane and I do love the three colour camo

Great job, once again.

The design looks like it would fit in quite nicely somewhere in between the Thomas-Morse MB-3 and the Curtiss P-6 years. I suspect the Japanese 'borrowed' ideas extensively from that period.
The model is excellent. Well done.
