Detailed 1/16 WWII Navy Pilot Figure

The Tamiya 36312 kit recreates a WWII Japanese Navy fighter pilot at 1/16 scale, emphasising authentic gear and surface detail for figure modellers. The set captures the flight suit, cap, goggles and life vest at a size that reveals stitching and equipment textures. You can assemble the figure in two configurations, either with arms crossed or holding a katana, to suit your vignette. Included are clear components for the goggle lenses, decal sheets for rank markings, and a small display base to complete the presentation.

Uniform and Gear Notes

Aircrew in the early Pacific campaigns typically wore flight suits with red leather boots and protective headgear, often shown with goggles in metal frames. Despite official limits on swords because of navigation interference, period images show pilots with katanas, which the kit allows you to replicate for realism.

How should I treat the clear goggle parts before painting?

Clean the clear parts with mild soap and handle with gloves; mask them when airbrushing surrounding areas to preserve clarity and avoid overspray.

Does the kit include decals for insignia?

Yes, the kit includes high-quality sticker decals for rank insignia to help you achieve an accurate finish without custom painting.
