Hasegawa 02455 - 1/72 Aichi E13A1 Type Zero Model 11 Kimikawamaru with Catapult Naval Diorama Kit  [HA-02455]

Scale Kit for the Aichi E13A1 Type Zero 1/72

The Hasegawa 1/72 Aichi E13A1 Type Zero presents a faithful representation of the Japanese WWII reconnaissance seaplane. Favoured for its scouting range, the E13A1 was widely used for fleet reconnaissance and patrol duties.

Catapulted Variant and Modelling Uses

This edition models the aircraft as carried by the Kimikawamaru and includes the catapult assembly to simulate shipboard operations. Modellers can depict launching sequences, cradle placements or a parked configuration on deck.

Building Experience and Display Value

At 1/72 the kit gives fine detail while remaining approachable. Parts are sharply moulded but need careful prep work and painting for an authentic result. Once finished the model is a strong representation of period naval aviation technology.
