A plastic kit, Aichi E16A1 Zuiun Early, in 1:72 scale from Hobby 2000 (a rebox of the Fujimi plastic) — a Japanese reconnaissance floatplane.
Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the Japanese reconnaissance floatplane Aichi E16A1 Zuiun in the early version, in 1:72 scale. This is a rebox from Hobby 2000: the base plastic parts come from the Fujimi tooling, and the set is supplemented with Cartograf decals and painting masks. The exact package contents are given in the manufacturer's product sheet.
The Aichi E16A1 Zuiun (Allied reporting name Paul) was a Japanese two-seat naval reconnaissance floatplane from the Second World War era. An interesting feature was its dive-bombing capability — the aircraft had dive brakes built into the float struts and flaps for control in a dive. It was deployed in the final phase of the war in the Pacific, including in the fighting over the Philippines and in the Okinawa area. It took off from open water as well as from ship catapults.
On a floatplane, pay close attention to fitting the float struts precisely and firmly — they determine the geometry of the whole model, so let the joints dry thoroughly. Use thin liquid cement on the plastic, and apply a primer before painting. Handle the cockpit and glazing with the included masks. Japanese naval schemes (a dark green upper surface, a light lower surface) come out well with an airbrush. Apply the Cartograf decals over a gloss finish to prevent silvering. Consider a fine wash and dry-brushing to highlight the panels.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
