Osaka 30.1.2013
I found in Osaka at Kansuke shop of Daikokucho ward this 1/72 scale resin kit
made by Asuka Models Red Baron in 1984 (N°3 on the box)
Inside there are a dozen of yellow resin parts + propeller and struts
for the float in white metal, a master and a sheet of transparent film to build
the canopy, no decals
The instruction sheet is in japanese language only, but with interesting drawings
undersigned by Yoichi Nakamura 1984, and the address on a shop in Nagoya,
Hobby Plaza Red Baron with the old telephone number
The prize on the box was Yen 3500 but I payed only 900 yen (around 8 euro today)

👍 Lucky guy! 😉
In Tokyo you can find a shop Leonardo, now located in Akihabara area. They also have a lot of "oldies", which you usually don't find anymore. If you are in Tokyo have a look there.
Below link shows the old shop and old address. When I'm back home, I can probably give you the new one, but... as far as I remember, Leonardo should have several shops all over Japan, at least when I was in Japan.
