Time to start something new (but very old). Several years ago I bought a large quantity of old kits at an antique store and this Nichimo Ki-45 was among them:

As you can see, the box is in pretty rough shape and there was even some water damage from wherever it was stored. Inside is a partially-started airplane that the first owner had started on so many years ago. He/she had built the wings, engines and nacelles:

They also laid out where to put frames and stringers in the fuselage and then got this far before putting the kit away for future finishing:

So, my task is to finish what was first started by the original owner. They gave me a good starting point!
