Product Description ■ As a successor to the Type 90 Water Reconnaissance Aircraft, the Type 95 Water Reconnaissance Aircraft, which was officially adopted in 1935, will be made into a kit with a completely new mold.
This aircraft is characterized by its design incorporating the upper wing with an angle of retreat and the lower wing with no angle of retreat. It is an aircraft with a wooden / gold hybrid frame and a feathered structure.
At that time, it was said to have a maneuverability equal to the Type 96 艦戦. It was used not only for searching for enemies and reconnaissance, but also for air warfare and bombing missions.
It was deployed to ground bases and was operated as a mounted aircraft for many ships including the battleship Nagato.
The kit was designed with an emphasis on the texture unique to the feathered airframe.
The upper half of the fillet is made into a separate part for the division of the fuselage and lower wing.
The lower half is molded into the main wing side to reproduce the shape accurately. Ribs are provided inside the parts of the upper wing and lower wing to ensure the strength after assembly.
The Cowling is reproduced in three parts, the same as the actual aircraft.
The main float is a top-and-bottom split type. The rudder of the vertical tail is made into a separate part. The horizontal tail is designed based on newly obtained documents.
The 7.7 mm swivel machine gun at the back of the rear seat reproduces the stored condition.
