Hasegawa SKTB001QU1RAK Mitsubishi Model Kit 18inch

Highly detailed 1/48 scale assembly model kit of the Mitsubishi F1M (Allied codename "Pete"), a World War II Japanese reconnaissance seaplane. Introduced in 1941, the F1M was originally intended as a catapult-launched reconnaissance floatplane for the Imperial Japanese Navy; however, the F1M proved to be highly versatile and were used as fighter, anti-submarine aircraft, maritime patrol plane, and rescue and transport aircraft. The F1M even mixed-it-up with Allied fighters in dogfights over the Aleutians, the Solomons and several other theaters. This Hasegawa 1/48 scale assembly kit features the F1M2 variant, the 2-seat reconnaissance version used by the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the kit features completely new tooling with parts to construct 60kg bombs and a dolly (also can be used as a display platform).
