Hasegawa 64716 - 1/72 Kugisho P1Y1 Ginga (Frances) Type 11: Cockpit-Focused Scale Model

The Hasegawa 64716 kit recreates the Kugisho P1Y1 Ginga in compact 1/72 scale with an emphasis on cockpit accuracy. The kit gives modelers parts that replicate the cabin layout and panel detail for a convincing small-scale interior.

Context and Appeal for Scale Modellers

The P1Y1 Ginga saw service in World War II and is valued by modellers for its aerodynamic profile and distinctive cockpit arrangement. This subject appeals to those who enjoy micro-detailing and period-correct finishes.

Kit Details and Construction Notes

Parts are crisply moulded with a focus on the control panels and seating area. Builders should plan for careful painting and decal placement to bring out the instrument markings and canopy framing.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for finishing
  • Part Count: Not specified
The kit provides parts suited for instrument detail but paint and decals are needed to highlight dials and markings. Aftermarket decals can also enhance realism.
The kit builds well on its own, though resin or photo-etch sets can add extra finesse to cockpit controls if you want higher fidelity.
Some minor cleanup of sprue marks and dry-fitting of parts is normal. Gentle sanding and careful test fits improve seams and alignment.
