Tamiya 31516 - 1/700 IJN Late Type Naval Plane Model Set - Late WWII Carrier Aircraft Pack  [31516]

Compact overview of the Tamiya 31516 - 1/700 IJN Late Type Naval Plane Model Set

The Tamiya 31516 - 1/700 IJN Late Type Naval Plane Model Set presents a focused selection of late World War II Japanese carrier aircraft in finely moulded 1/700 scale. The set contains parts for representative types including the A6M5 Zero fighter, B6N Jill torpedo bomber, D4Y Judy dive bomber, B7A Grace dive bomber and the C6N Myrt reconnaissance aircraft. Each piece aims to reflect the silhouette and role these planes had on carrier operations.

Why these models appeal to scale builders

Japanese naval aircraft were central to Pacific operations in the late war years. The A6M5 Zero is noted for its manoeuvrability and range, and this set makes it possible to recreate carrier air groups from that period. The included decal sheet lets modellers add accurate national markings to each type for a more authentic display.

Assembling and presenting the completed models

This box provides parts to assemble 32 aircraft spread across five types. The build process rewards careful gluing and painting, with finished models suited for mounting on carrier decks, display stands or within larger dioramas that show naval air operations.
