The Hasegawa 02338 kit reproduces the Kawanishi H6K5 Type 97 flying boat, commonly known as "Mavis", which flew with Japanese naval air units in World War II. This 1/72 scale release focuses on accurate surface detail and faithful geometry for serious modellers.
The H6K5 performed long range reconnaissance and maritime patrol duties during the conflict. This kit highlights the flying boats hull shape and engine nacelles, making it a strong choice for collectors of wartime seaplanes.
Builders will find finely moulded parts that reward careful trimming and dry fitting. Once painted and decaled the finished model presents well on a shelf or in a diorama that depicts coastal operations.
