The Hasegawa 1/72 Aichi E13A1 Type Zero recreates the silhouette and function of the Japanese reconnaissance seaplane used in WWII. Praised for its operational flexibility, the E13A1 carried out long range observation and maritime patrol roles.
This kit depicts the aircraft as launched from the Kimikawamaru, complete with the catapult assembly to stage authentic shipboard launches. The additional parts allow builders to compose realistic naval aviation displays from the wartime period.
At 1/72 scale the model offers strong detail while remaining compact. Components need precise assembly, gluing and painting to bring out the fine features. A finished model makes an informative and attractive exhibit for collectors interested in naval aircraft.
