Also known in Japan as the Akatonbo, or “Red Dragonfly”, the Ki-9 was a two-seat biplane used as an intermediate trainer by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. This discontinued Japanese-made kit features orange moulded components, detailed biplane construction, decals and markings representing several Japanese Army flying schools. Its colourful period box artwork and uncommon subject make it equally appealing to aircraft modellers and vintage model-kit collectors. Assembly, painting and rigging are required. Paint, adhesive and modelling tools are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-section-id=\"1fah8gx\" data-start=\"1234\" data-end=\"1244\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1641\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"15w37xj\" data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1301\"\u003e\nVintage Nichimo 1:48 scale plastic aircraft model kit\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1c76jl\" data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1356\"\u003e\nRepresents the Tachikawa Ki-9 Type 95-1 Otsu trainer\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1e8r0dn\" data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003e\nAllied reporting name “Spruce”\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"he5m6v\" data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1431\"\u003e\nTwo-seat Japanese Army training biplane\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"2ii47i\" data-start=\"1432\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003e\nOrange-coloured moulded plastic components\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ttx96f\" data-start=\"1477\" data-end=\"1531\"\u003e\nMultiple Japanese Army flying-school marking options\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1fvc071\" data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1594\"\u003e\nIncludes decals, painting guidance and assembly instructions\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"15dqchk\" data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1641\"\u003e\nDiscontinued model kit manufactured in Japan\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-section-id=\"1aex439\" data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1654\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1656\" data-end=\"1700\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1656\" data-end=\"1700\"\u003eNew – Opened to Verify Contents Complete\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"2233\"\u003eNew and unassembled vintage model kit.
