Hasegawa Kawanishi N1K2-J Shidenkai Preorder by January 27th
Flying with the rising sun

With the N1K2-J, Kawanishi did the impossible; turning a float plane into a dogfighter that could stand up to the best America had to offer. "George" fighters were quite capable of shooting down Hellcats, Corsairs and, in the hands of expert pilots, even the vaunted B-29 Superfortress. In larger numbers the N1K2-J could have had a massive effect on the war, but only 428 were built. By comparison 12,000 Corsairs, comparable to the N1K2-J, were produced by the U.S. This limited edition kit features new cowlflaps and decals for prototype #6.

Decal Option:

I.J.N. prototype No.6 Code: Ko-K2J-6 Yokosuka 1944

Stock Number: HSGS8240
Mfg. Number: 08239

Wow, something in 1/32 from Hasegawa. THAT's a "man bites dog" story.
