Tamiya 31516 - 1/700 IJN Late Type Naval Plane Model Set - Carrier Deck Aircraft Collection  [31516]

Introducing the Tamiya 31516 - 1/700 IJN Late Type Naval Plane Model Set

The Tamiya 31516 - 1/700 IJN Late Type Naval Plane Model Set contains a compact range of late World War II Japanese carrier aircraft rendered in 1/700 scale. Model types included are the A6M5 Zero fighter, B6N Jill torpedo bomber, D4Y Judy dive bomber, B7A Grace dive bomber and the C6N Myrt reconnaissance plane, each crafted to suit small-scale naval displays.

Role in history and why modellers pick this set

These aircraft performed key duties from fleet carriers in the late war period. The A6M5 Zero stands out for its manoeuvrability and patrol reach. Builders and collectors can use the supplied decals to apply period-accurate national markings, improving the historical feel of each model.

Assembly notes and display suggestions

The kit provides parts for 32 aircraft across five distinct models. Assembly will require patient trimming and glue application. Once finished, the planes make a strong addition to carrier kits, museum-style cases or compact dioramas portraying naval air operations.
