Model type: Aichi M6A1
My model stash consists of almost entirely of Luftwaffe kits. The only kit I have that fits this build is my Blohm Voss Bv222. Since my hands are full with the Dornier 26 and doubtful I'll have it finished in time, something a little lighter was needed. I picked up this Tamiya kit. The Aichi A6M1 is interesting. It was designed to be stowed and launched from a submarine. The subs were dispatched both carrying three planes but were called back to base due to Japans surrender. So as far as I know they never saw any action. They were extensively flight tested and there was apparently a land based version built as well. It looks to be a great kit with lots of detail. Should be a straight forward no hassle build !
