The H6K5 undertook long range patrols and search missions for the Imperial Japanese Navy. The kit reproduces key external features and structural cues sought by collectors and researchers.

Who will get the most from this kit?

Experienced modellers and collectors will appreciate the level of detail; newcomers may still enjoy the build but should allow extra time for small parts and finishing.

The kit includes decal sheets intended to match wartime markings; using decal setting solutions and careful application will improve appearance and longevity.
