This Tamiya 36312 model kit presents a finely crafted 1/16 scale representation of a WWII Japanese Navy fighter pilot, aimed at modellers who value period accuracy. The figure shows the flight suit, cap, goggles and life vest in enlarged scale to highlight fine detail. Builders can choose between two assembly poses: arms folded or holding a katana, adding visual interest to a display. The kit also includes clear parts for goggle lenses, quality stickers for rank insignia, and a display base to present the completed figure.
The early Pacific War airman uniform featured a flight suit, red leather boots and a cap, accompanied by goggles set in anodized metal frames. While regulations often discouraged carrying swords due to compass interference, many period photos show airmen with katanas, a detail reflected in this model for historical realism.
