Indonesian Yokosuka K5Y1 "Willow" by Jacob Terlouw

This is my LS K5Y1. I built it some 40 years ago in AURI colours, did not bother then about cockpit details and guessed the Indonesians painted the undersurfaces grey. Arawasi proved some years ago that I was mistaken about that. This kit survived a lot of moving to other cities with the family ( many other kits did not). Last year I bought the AZ kit of the Akatonbo which is more up to the standards of nowadays. You can build it as the K5Y1 or K5Y2 and comes with some resin & P.E. parts for the cockpit and armament. Nicely detailed and decals for 205th  Special Attack Unit,
Takao Ku, Takuma Ku and Indonesian Airforce.
