seiran01 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 A model company from however many decades ago - ODK - never heard of them... there's a clear A6M zero listed on ebay with internal details, quite interesting to learn of this one! Looks to be similar to the Monogram Phantom Mustang (minus the working parts) from what I can see in the tiny photos. Can't see any additional info on google and this thing isn't even in the kit database - is anyone familiar with the kit or the company? https://www.ebay.com/itm/ODK-A6M5-Zero-Clear-Issue-1-32/113310719231 A340 Pilot, Erwin and Big Texan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbk57 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I ran a search on ebay for ODK there were no other aircraft kits, so I ran an advanced search for completed listings and there were no hits. I would chalk this up as exceptionally rare. I am also now going to look and see if there are any hits for ODK for anything else on ebay as I am curious. I searched all of their listings under models and kits on ebay and completed listings, only 5 kits come up under ODK brand. Only two come up under completed listings. I marked the zero on my watch list, to see if it sells and what for. I have a fair interest but don’t plan on bidding as I don’t think I can adequately guarantee the kit won’t deteriorate in storage. Otherwise I might put a bid on it. Edited October 15, 2018 by cbk57 Big Texan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 This looks an awful lot like the Tony A6M2 kit under a new name and clear plastic? Just a guess here. Troy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess here. Troy. No as the kit is labeled A6M5. I am amazed as I have never seen any mention of such a kit anywhere! Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Never heard of them, either. Googling, I found ODK is short for Odaka Sanuya(?, it is pretty fuzzy) Ltd, a company that apparently made a short lived run of models, including this 1/2 scale Japanese scale helmet: Note: their stuff must be really rare. For this helmet kit, they are asking over $1000! thierry laurent and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I have one! Always wondered it's origins, i got it it a club sale decades ago. it's in no way shape or form a hi-tech modern kit. if you want niceties, look elsewhere, however, its got folding wheels, Phantom Mustang levels of internal detail. An oddity, for sure, but very cool, and what price can you put on cool? If it's within your budget, do it Denzil MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Cool, Denzil! If you have some time, would you mind taking a good pic of the boxtop that we can stick up in the kit database? Cheers Shawn M and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it was a Japanese secret designed by an obscure camping equipment maker that invented the collapsible plate. This technology is quite common now and modern versions can be found at any REI store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
