This fantastic set of IJN aircraft is just the thing you need to increase the air power of your 1/350 Hasegawa Akagi! Molded in clear plastic for easy and realistic painting of the canopies, these little guys have surface detail that the folks at Hasegawa describe as equal to that of their larger 1/48 cousins...I held them in my hands, and can vouch for that claim! The recessed panel lines and other details are indeed ultra-sharp, even at this wee scale.
The set includes three Mitsubishi A6M2b Type 21 Zero Fighters, six Nakajima B5N2 Type 97 Model 3 Carrier Attack Bombers (Kate) with your choice of bombs or torpedoes, and three Aichi D3A1 Type 99 Model 11 Carrier Dive Bombers (Val).
The decals are basically for Akagi-based aircraft, but the numbers and markings can be modified to build aircraft from other IJN carriers that participated in the Pearl Harbor attack, such as the Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Zuikaku, and Shokaku.
