-About 10 aircraft were produced and deployed in the Pacific theater.

-The kit is prepared with new molds such as float parts.
-Firmly modeling the wheel parts equipped with the float when using it on land, including the pillar parts that connect the float and the aircraft. Both can be reproduced.
