Fujimi1/700 Special Series No.204 EX-1 IJN carrier-based aircraft Set 1 (Early Wartime Period) (plus Edition)

A set of carrier-based aircraft carried aboard aircraft carriers during the early war years. A PLUS-spec version with clear-molded parts for a more realistic reproduction! This all-in-one set includes four types of aircraft?carrier-based fighters, bombers, attack aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft?so you don’t have to buy them separately. The aircraft lineup is designed to be compatible with fully operational wartime carriers such as the Nagumo Mobile Strike Force, the Hayate, and the Sh?h?. This is an unpainted 1/700 scale kit that requires glue assembly and painting. ● Contents The set includes a total of 33 aircraft: 9 Zero fighters, 9 Type 99 carrier-based bombers, 5 Type 97 carrier-based torpedo bombers, and 10 Type 2 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft. The canopy is molded in clear plastic for a more realistic appearance. Decals for national markings are included. ● Compatible Aircraft Carriers Suitable for use as carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carriers “Akagi,” “Kaga,” “S?ry?,” “Hiry?,” “Sh?kaku,” and “Zuihaku,” as well as “Sh?h?,” “Zuih?,” “Huy?,” and “Hiy?.” ● Zero-Type Carrier-Based Fighter 　・Based on the Type 21 variant, a carrier-based aircraft with a wide wingspan. 　・Each aircraft consists of 7 parts (fuselage, windscreen, propeller, auxiliary fuel tank, main landing gear, and tail wheel). 　・Thanks to the part breakdown, the main landing gear struts, covers, and tail wheel feature more realistic shapes than previous versions. 　・The auxiliary fuel tank, propeller, and windscreen are separate parts, making it easy to paint them in different colors. 　・Includes 9 aircraft. ● Type 99 Carrier-Based Dive Bomber 　・Based on the Type 11, which served as the mainstay from the start of the war through the mid-war period. 　・Each model consists of 7 parts (fuselage, windscreen, propeller, bomb, main landing gear, tail wheel). 　・Separate parts accurately reproduce the distinctive main landing gear covers and the shape of the 250-kilogram bomb. 　・The bomb, propeller, and windscreen are separate parts, making it easy to paint them in different colors. 　・Includes 9 aircraft. ●Type 97 Carrier-Based Attack Aircraft 　・Based on the No. 3 carrier-based attack aircraft equipped with the “Sakae Type 11” engine. 　・Each aircraft consists of 7 parts (fuselage, windscreen, propeller, aircraft torpedo, main landing gear, and tail wheel). 　・The large windscreen, aerial torpedo, and propeller are separate parts, making it easy to paint them in different colors. 　・The mounted torpedo features a tapered rear shape, and the main landing gear faithfully reproduces the rounded shape of the tires in fine detail. 　・Includes 5 aircraft. ●Type 2 Carrier Reconnaissance Aircraft 　・Based on the liquid-cooled aircraft that was officially designated as a carrier reconnaissance aircraft before being deployed as the “Comet” carrier-based dive bomber. 　・Each model consists of 10 parts (fuselage, windscreen, auxiliary fuel tank, 60-kilogram bomb, main landing gear, tail wheel, propeller). 　・The windscreen, propeller, and 60-kilogram bomb are separate parts, making it easy to apply different paint colors. 　・The fuselage is sculpted to capture the unique shape resulting from the installation of the Atsuta liquid-cooled engine. 　・Includes 10 models. ● Included Decals 　・Includes one decal sheet measuring approximately 89 × 90 mm. 　・Features the Hinomaru markings (early wartime specification with white borders) for the upper and lower surfaces of the wings and the fuselage. 　・Also includes the Hinomaru markings with the white border filled in, used from June Showa 19 onward, which can be applied to the Type 99 carrier-based dive bomber and other models. Please note that colors may appear different from the actual product due to monitor settings and image resolution. (From the Fujimi Models website)
