Trumpeter 01323 1/144 Kawanishi H6K5-L Scale Flying Boat Kit  [TP01323]

Trumpeter 01323 1/144 Kawanishi H6K5-L Kit Overview

The Trumpeter 01323 kit recreates the Japan Kawanishi H6K5-L, a World War II long range reconnaissance and transport flying boat. Recognised for its maritime patrol role, the H6K5-L is rendered here in 1/144 scale so modellers can build a compact, detailed representation with attention to the hull and wing lines.

Operational History and Scale Accuracy

Often called "Mavis" by Allied crews, the Kawanishi H6K5-L earned a reputation for rugged service and multi role use across sea patrols and transport runs. This kit captures the aircraft's characteristic hull shape and engine placement, giving builders a faithful small scale study of its form and detailing.

Construction Notes and Display Options

Targeted at intermediate builders, the Trumpeter 01323 delivers small but well engineered parts that require careful handling and glue work. When finished, the model makes a smart addition to a 1/144 display shelf or diorama featuring maritime operations and small carrier groups.
