I suppose tools for the Mars 10 would work just as well for the later model engines, maybe a case of recycling an old toolbox.
      Very true, I was not even aware Mistubishi made a Kasei Model 10 until I saw that tool box here. Always thought the Kasei Model 11 used on the initial Bettys were the first Kasei ever built in numbers.

        That explains why I'm coming up with zip on the Model 10

          The tool box is marked with a manufacture date of June 1943, and that deepens the mystery, since I have no info of a "Kasei Model 10" being used on any plane especially at around that time. Perhaps the 火星１０型 (Kasei Model 10) was just meant to represent the Kasei 10 "series" of engines, meaning for this case the Model 11 and Model 15 engines.

                  Recently saw this exact box for sale at an antique shop...what are the odds! The other tool box next to it was in even better shape.
