the KI61-11 was an early release finemolds kit...basicly it was a conversion on the hasegawa KI61-1tei...so it had a new sprue for the longer fuselage and whitemetal detail parts(undercarriage legs seat and new spinner) you get a full hasegawa kit in the box plus the bits to make the later model KI61.
the plane i chose to build is the one that has just been restored by Kawasaki in japan...it turned out ok im my mind.

the KI100-1a
is a later release fine molds kit...it's all finmolds work not a conversion but a full kit...and a nice one at that(even though it's a few years old now)...no white metal at all better wheel wells and a proper landing light...BUT in my mind the interior isn't as good as the older Ki61-11 and the plastic gear lags are certainly not as good(the white metal ones have brake lines cast in them) but it eas a really nice kit to build..i wish i'd bult one of my Aoshima KI100's to compare to this...the scheme is for a KI100 operating with the Akeno flight training school.

31100481_746736812188360_2457842531013509838_n by paul sabin, on Flickrthey both are nice kits...and not that hard work to be honest...but i do look forward to doing the Aoshima KI100's later on....i may need another KI61 or 2.......more Aoshima?
and my 1/72 KI61's and KI100 from the last 30 years....i built the mottles one before i got married
