Product Description

Developed as a successor to the Zero fighter, the Reppu was the Imperial Japanese Navy's last fighter plane.
The prototype Reppu was completed in April 1944, but due to a malfunction of the Homare engine it did not achieve the specified performance, so the prototype ran into difficulties and at one point it was even doubtful whether it would be adopted.
The engine was quickly replaced with a Mitsubishi MK9 (Ha-43) engine, resulting in high performance.
It was adopted as the Reppu Type 11.
However, the war ended before mass production was completed.
A total of six markings are included: three historical markings and three IF markings.
Three types of historical markings are included, including the Air Technical Arsenal Receipt No. 3.
Comes with three types of markings in case of actual combat.
The packaging also depicts an aerial battle with the US Navy's new F8F aircraft, which never actually occurred.
Overall length when completed: 152mm, overall width: 194mm, approximately 50 parts
