Kora Models recently released a limited edition brand new Japanese Nakajima-Fokker Super Universal kit in 1/72, with markings for three Japan Air Transport (Nippon Koku Yuso) aircraft.
Very special thanks to Kora Models for the sample kit!

The kit included one...ski. J-BBXO was at some point in its career fitted with skis so perhaps Kora will release a special edition?
In the sample kit Kora sent over, very kindly included two extra "Resin Detail Parts" that are available for the Super Universal kit.
