1/72 Aichi E13A1 Type Zero (Jake) Model 11 w/ Catapult

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

Adapted from the Hasegawa website:

Nicknamed “Jake” by the Allies, the Aichi E13A floatplane made long-range recon a reality for the IJN during World War II. E13As were typically launched by catapult, and many were used for kamikaze missions during the latter half of the war. Several E13A1 pilots were from the Kashima Naval Flying Group, which had begun as a flight training group in 1938. This limited edition kit features a separately molded catapult and two marking options.

When completed, this model kit measures about 16cm long and has a wing span of about 20cm. Parts come molded in gray. Includes clear parts and decals.
