Product Description
To this day, the only one in history to have successfully bombed the US mainland, and an innovative special operations aircraft launched from a submarine makes its debut!
This 1/72 scale model recreates the Type 0 Small Seaplane, which successfully carried out the only bombing raid on the US mainland in September 1942 (Showa 17). Also known as the Type 0 Small Reconnaissance Seaplane, this model replicates its appearance.
The compact style, designed to fit into a submarine's hangar, is realistically modeled with engraved panel lines and richly textured fabric upholstery.
The parts configuration is designed with ease of assembly in mind, such as integrating the support struts for the twin floats as much as possible. The bombs used in the bombing of Oregon are also included as parts.
The Type 0 small reconnaissance seaplane, which is said to have been assembled and launched from the surface of a submarine in less than 10 minutes. A display stand part that resembles the catapult used for launch is also included.
Unpainted plastic model assembly kit. Completed aircraft size: (approx.) Wingspan 152mm x Length 119mm. Catapult length 150mm. 50 parts.
The markings, including the propeller warning lines on the floats, are provided as decals. The white border of the Hinomaru (Japanese flag) is included in both the standard type and the painted-over version used during covert missions.
