Gasuden Koken

[teddybeer]

Starting with a resin kit from A&W Models, manufactured and sold by Anigrand, which I cast in metal last summer after making a silicone mold, here is the Japanese aircraft that broke a distance (11,651,011 km or 7,240 mi) and speed (186,192 km/h over 10,000 km) record in 1938.
