FUJI

Released by "Fuji Hobby" in the 70s in "1:48", as stated on the box, this is probably a re-issue of the older "Marusan" kit which was in 1:50 (the instructions actually say so).

Best for last.

Kawasaki Ki-61 "Tony", scale 1:28, "Automatic fullaction". The kit included a motor which was connected to the flaps, rudder and elevator with piano strings. By removing the canopy and pressing the "on" button in the cockpit the model moved on the ground. When the model turned direction all the controls moved too. Also made an aircraft engine sound. Considered too complicated kit for it's time.

Starting price: 600$
