Tamiya 31516 - 1/700 IJN Late Type Naval Plane Model Set - Scale Aircraft Selection  [31516]

Overview: Tamiya 31516 - 1/700 IJN Late Type Naval Plane Model Set

The Tamiya 31516 - 1/700 IJN Late Type Naval Plane Model Set offers a selection of late-war Japanese carrier aircraft in 1/700 scale. Included types are the A6M5 Zero fighter, B6N Jill torpedo bomber, D4Y Judy dive bomber, B7A Grace dive bomber and the C6N Myrt reconnaissance aircraft, modelled with attention to profile and role aboard fleet carriers.

Period significance and modeller interest

Naval air power was a decisive factor in Pacific engagements, and the A6M5 Zero in particular is recognised for its handling and operational reach. This set enables modellers to assemble historically themed aircraft groups, and the supplied decals allow for correct national markings on each type.

Construction advice and display options

The kit includes parts to make 32 aircraft covering five variants. Builders should expect detailed trimming and glue work at this scale. Finished models are well suited for placement on carrier models, in display cabinets or as components of larger naval dioramas.
