Tamiya 61036 N1K1 Kyofu Type 11 1/48 Scale Historic Floatplane Kit  [61036]

Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu Type 11 Kit Overview

The Tamiya 61036 offers a faithful model of the Kawanishi N1K1 Kyofu Type 11, a floatplane fighter created by Kawanishi Aircraft for service with the Imperial Japanese Navy. Introduced late in 1943, the Kyofu earned the Allied nickname "Rex" and was valued for its solid construction in maritime operations.

In 1/48 scale, the kit emphasises the Kyofu's distinctive midwing form and the detailed float gear that allowed seaworthy operations. The design reflects the original Mitsubishi Kasei radial engine layout, and parts aim to deliver crisp panel lines and realistic surface detail for painting and weathering work.
