Fujimi Japanese Navy Carrier Based Aircraft Set 3 Late War Plus Edition

Product Description

Recreate a carrier strike force from the late war period (around 1945) with this all-in-one carrier-based aircraft set. PLUS clear-molded version for even more realistic canopy detail. Four aircraft types are included together so you do not need to buy individual models: carrier fighter, carrier fighter-bomber, dive bomber, and torpedo attacker. Ideal for modeling a task force assuming fleet carriers capable of flight operations remained in service in 1945.
