Scale representation of the Kawanishi N1K2-J Shidenkai by Hasegawa 08239

The Hasegawa 08239 kit captures the Kawanishi N1K2-J Shidenkai at 1/32 scale, offering modellers a faithful interpretation of this Imperial Japanese Navy fighter. Known to Allied crews as "George", the Shidenkai combined sleek lines with strong performance, and this kit reproduces those features with attention to fidelity.

Designated here as Prototype No.6, the kit provides engraved panel lines, a well-moulded cockpit interior, and accurate undercarriage parts. Whether mounted on a base or as part of a themed display, the Shidenkai makes an attractive subject for weathering and finishing techniques.

Specifications

  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly

Yes, the scale and level of detail make it suitable for both standalone display models and integration into larger dioramas, especially when paired with accurate base elements.
The kit is well detailed out of the box, but advanced builders often add photo-etch, metal undercarriage, or resin cockpit upgrades to reach a higher standard of realism.
Use a fine brush and magnification for instrument panels, apply a light wash to bring out details, and consider dry-brushing raised areas to highlight controls and moulded textures.
