This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.
This model kit was announced at the 63rd annual All Japan Model Hobby Show! Wingsy Kits brings us an all-new 1/48-scale Type 99 carrier-based dive bomber Aichi D3A2! The Imperial Japanese Navy's Type 99 carrier dive bomber was produced by Aichi Aircraft Corporation, and was active during the early to mid-Pacific War. The Model 22 was an improved version of the Model 11, official adopted in 1943. It featured a Venus Type 54 engine, a corresponding redesign of the engine cowling, the addition of a propeller spinner, improved aerodynamic performance through an extended rear movable windshield, and modifications to the swingarm and horizontal stabilizer. While these modifications reduced range, they improved speed, climbing ability, high-altitude performance, and bomb load.
This model kit from Wingsy marks the first-ever 1/48-scale injection kit of this aircraft! Photo-etched parts, paint mask stickers, and decals for four versions (one each for the aircraft carrier Jun'yo, Shokaku, USA Air Group, and 701st Air Group) are included. Wingsy Kits are known for their delicately rendered panel lines and rivet marks on the fuselage surface; the cockpit and engine are meticulously detailed using photo-etched parts. It's a must-have for any fan of Japanese aircraft -- place your order today!
