Build of the really nice multimedia kit (resin, PE, brass) from Five Star. Instructions aren't as detailed as they could be though.
The Akitsu Maru was a Japanese landing craft depot ship and escort aircraft carrier operated by the Imperial Japanese Army. It was completed on January 30, 1942 and sunk by the USS Queenfish on November 15, 1944. With the short flight deck, it carried Kokusai Ki-76 Type 3 (Stella) artillery spotter planes and Kayaba Ka-1 autogyro observation aircraft. The ship could also carry 27 Daihatsu-class landing craft, but I will model her with Ki-76 and Ka-1 aircraft.
