The LS Ki-15 is nice despite it's age, better in some ways to the Hasegawa kit. I wonder, though, about the colors for the Lockheed Altair. The box art reminds me of the old Aurora Zero!

In Famous Aircraft of the World #153 there are some interesting photos of civil registered Ki-21 types. MPM made a 1/72nd kit, and so did Revell, the latter being particularly hard to find.
