During WWII, the IJN's Combined Fleet had relocated its headquarters to Truk. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, whom commanded the Pearl Harbor Attack, attained Truk on April 3, 1943 and in the offing a call to your forward bases at Balalae, Buin, as well as the Shortland Islands to improve the morale for the frontline units. But the Us Americans had deciphered Japanese communications on April 13th which pointed out the details of the visit plus the U.S. Army Air Force arranged an interception objective. At 6:05AM on April 18th, both G4M1 bombers departed Rabaul for Balalae. 1st aircraft, No.323, had eleven individuals up to speed, including Yamamoto. The next aircraft, No.326, had twelve people up to speed, including Vice Admiral Matome Ugaki. At 8:00AM, a band of P-38 Lightning fighters attacked the bombers and Yamamoto's aircraft switched left toward Buin while Ugaki's aircraft switched appropriate toward the sea. Both aircraft had been hit and Ugaki survived a crash-landing in the water, but Yamamoto's aircraft crashed into the jungle. A search celebration reached Yamamoto's aircraft on the evening of this nineteenth and his body ended up being discovered outside the aircraft, still seated and with his blade in their fingers. The Tamiya model faithfully captures the annals with this last trip and the personnel aboard.
