Description
Plastic model kit of the Kugisho P1Y1 Ginga “Frances” Type 11 with torpedo in 1:72 scale
The Hasegawa 02494 kit represents the Kugisho P1Y1 Ginga, known to the Allies as “Frances”, in Type 11 configuration and markings of the Yokosuka Flying Group. Designed for the Imperial Japanese Navy, the P1Y was a fast twin-engine bomber intended for both level bombing and torpedo attack missions.
The Ginga featured a streamlined airframe, high top speed, and the ability to carry a single aerial torpedo, making it a serious threat to Allied naval forces. Despite its advanced design, the aircraft entered service late in the war and saw limited operational use.
In the box you will find:
- plastic parts to build the Kugisho P1Y1 Ginga in 1:72 scale
- accurately shaped Type 11 airframe
- detailed crew cockpit and landing gear bays
- aerial torpedo as external ordnance
- decals for Yokosuka Flying Group markings
- clear, illustrated assembly instructions
Model specifications:
