Hasegawa has announced the September 2015 release of set HSGQG56, Japanese Navy Carrier Planes, in 1/450 scale.
Apparently intended to complement their newly released 1/450 scale Shinano kit, The set consists of 14 aircraft including:
(2) Zero fighter 52
(3) Shiden Kai Ni
(3) Saiun
(3) Tenzan
(3) Ryusei Kai
I don’t remember if these planes were the types included with Hasegawa’s old 1970s Shinano kit; they may be new toolings. In any case they are of the right late war timeframe for the Shinano – although they may not be altogether appropriate as the ship was destroyed before she ever embarked an airgroup!
The planes can be had for ¥1,440 (approximately US$11.93) from Hobbylink Japan).
