Hasegawa 1/48 E8N1 Type 95 Recon. Seaplane (Dave) 19197 Plastic Model Kit

Hasegawa - 1/48 E8N1 Type 95 Recon. Seaplane (Dave)

As a successor to the 9 ”¹ type water reconnaissance aircraft, the kit 95 water reconnaissance aircraft, which was adopted in 1935, will be made into a completely new mold kit. The machine features a design that incorporates an upper wing with a receding angle and a lower wing without a receding angle at all, and is an air-clad structure with a wood-gold hybrid frame. At that time, it was said that it had the same athletic performance as the 96-class battle, and it was also used for airing, as well as for searching and reconnaissance, and for bombing missions. It was deployed as a ground base and used as a carrier for many ships including the Battleship Nagato.

The kit is designed with emphasis on the unique texture of the feathered aircraft. The fuselage and lower wing divisions reproduce the shape accurately by molding the upper half of the fillet into separate parts and molding the lower half on the wing side. Ribs are provided inside the upper and lower wing parts to ensure strength after assembly. Cowling is reproduced in 3 divisions like the real machine. The main float is divided up and down.
The vertical tail rudder is a separate part. The horizontal tail is designed based on the newly acquired data. The 7.7mm swivel gun on the back seat back reproduces the stored condition. Two pilot figures for the front and back seats (Plastic parts prototype: Mr. Ichiro Take). Cover for preventing engine supercooling, 60kg bomb 2 shots. Dolly is included.
