1/72 Kawanishi H6K5 Type 97 Kit from Hasegawa

The Hasegawa 02338 kit recreates the Kawanishi H6K5 Type 97 "Mavis", a World War II patrol flying boat. The moulding emphasizes panel lines and hull form, ideal for builders who enjoy detailing.

Service Role and Scale Appeal

The H6K5 saw service on extended sea patrols and reconnaissance missions. The model reflects the aircrafts main shapes and engine layout, which appeals to seaplane enthusiasts and diorama makers.

Building Tips and Display Ideas

Take care with hull joins and alignment of wing assemblies to ensure a neat finish. Once painted, the model displays well on a stand or in a coastal vignette with weathering to suggest sea exposure.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

The kit is detailed and benefits from prior modelling experience; beginners can build it but should expect a learning curve on small fittings.

Which paints work well for wartime finish?

Wartime finishes typically use muted greens and greys with pale undersides; experiment on scrap plastic and apply weathering to suggest salt and sun exposure.
