1/48 Scale Plastic model kit
Kawanishi N1K1-Ja Shiden
Developed from the N1K1 Kyofu floatplane fighter, the Kawanishi N1K1-J Shiden (Allied reporting name “George”) was to be a successor to the long-serving A6M Zero. This kit depicts the Model 11 Kou, or N1K1-Ja, variant of this aircraft, which featured a mid-mounted wing with complex main landing gear. The Homare engine, cockpit, wing-mounted 20mm cannon pods, drop tank, and oil cooler are all highly detailed. Four marking options, including aircraft which belonged to the Yokosuka Kokutai, are included. |
