Product Description
--Completely new mold kit from Micromill 1/350 Kawanishi KX-03 Flying boat information.
--The KX-03 is a super-large flying boat researched by Kawanishi Aircraft at the request of the Imperial Japanese Navy (the actual aircraft was not manufactured).
--At the beginning of 1943, the Navy requested Kawanishi Aircraft to study the technical feasibility of a 500t flying boat, and Kawanishi received this research with Mr. Tamenobu Takeuchi as the team leader and Mr. Shizuo Kikuhara as the general cooperator. Research on KX-03 has started.
――We designed a 500t main wing, calculated the weight of the main wing structure, designed a promising hull, and confirmed data such as cruising power through wind tunnel experiments and aquarium experiments.
--The total width of KX-03 has reached 180m, and it was possible to transport one battalion of troops.
――The main wing is partly made of wood, and the engine is all mounted on the upper surface of the main wing using a pylon. It was in the form of using the [Ne 330] turbojet engine as auxiliary power.
――Etched parts are included in the kit, and the total length will be about 464 mm and the total width will be about 513 mm when completed.
