Hasegawa 64716 - 1/72 Kugisho P1Y1 Ginga (Frances) Type 11: Cockpit Focus Kit

The Hasegawa 64716 kit offers a compact 1/72 rendition of the Kugisho P1Y1 Ginga, highlighting cockpit components and internal fittings. The set provides moulded parts intended to recreate the original instrument bays and seating area.

Background and Scale Appeal

The P1Y1 Ginga gained notice for its performance during the latter stages of World War II. For scale builders, the aircraft's cockpit and canopy framing present a satisfying small-scale modelling challenge.

Assembly Notes and Part Finish

Quality of the parts supports accurate assembly when combined with careful painting. Expect to use fine brushes, precise masking and decals to capture instrument faces and interior colours.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72

Collectors value the kit for its focused cockpit detail and faithful small-scale profile, which can be finished to a high standard with careful painting and decals.
The kit provides decals for external markings; instrument dials are usually recreated with paint or aftermarket decal sheets for enhanced realism.
Use a steady hand, magnification and fine brushes. Block in base colours first, then add highlights and tiny decals or dry transfers to represent dials and switches.
