--New release of special paint for 96 warfare air combat training!

――Etched parts will be attached for the first time only with 2 Mitsubishi A5M.

――In 1945, the 96th battle was introduced as the world's first monoplane carrier-based fighter.

――Approximately 1000 aircraft were produced and mounted on aircraft carriers or operated by the base aviation corps.

――In the unit, air combat training was conducted to improve the skill of combat techniques in accordance with the exercises every year.

――Around 1945, the ninety-six warships for air combat training had a very colorful special paint painted in red and white or white and black to identify friends and foes.

――The product released this time is limited to the first time, and it is a very bargain product with photo-etched parts that reproduces the detailed parts of the 96th warship.

-Decals include 4 aircraft carriers, Akagi, Soryu Fighter Squadron and Yokosuka Air Corps.

--Made by Italian cartograph.

[Reproduce the details of the 96th battle with photo-etched parts! ]

――The uniquely shaped wing tip pitot tube is a small part on 1/144 scale that cannot be plastic molded and is omitted, but it was reproduced by photo etching.

――We also tried to make the parts for getting on and off the aircraft at SWEET for the first time in the world.

--Since the same shape of the footrest parts used in the [Zero fighter] and [Type 2 water battle] is also used for the ninety-six warships, the attached etching parts contain six aircraft, so there is a surplus. The parts can be diverted to model production of these aircraft, which is very convenient.

[Yukihisa Fujita BOX art is 2 types! ]

--Cute manga artist Yukihisa Fujita! The illustration is a cheering pose of a cheerful cheer girl hoping for Corona to leave.

-A set of 2 aircraft containing parts for each aircraft. Both parts are reduced in the number of parts, and the basic painting of the main body is applied, so the assembly is easy.
-Markings are for K-103, or Rokugoku 212 (Imperial Life Corps), of the fighter squadrons of the Gen-Kan fighters K-103.
-A zero-class fighter-based fighter sets the decals of each type of Saburo Sakai 1-passio (V-103) of Tainan Airlines or the Saburo Sakai (V-107).
-You can choose and finish. A plane designer can not miss a set of two aircraft that can also know the history of a well-designed engineer, Jiro Horikoshi.
