Tamiya 61054 - 1/48 Aichi M6A1 Seiran WWII Aircraft Model Kit - Retro Submarine-Borne Aircraft Kit  [61054]

Compact Seiran replica in 1/48 scale

The Tamiya 1/48 Aichi M6A1 Seiran kit gives modellers a chance to assemble a rare submarine-launched fighter. The parts capture the Seiran's space-saving features and overall silhouette for an honest scale result.

Why the Seiran stands out historically

Designed to be stowed in submarine hangars and catapulted into action, the Aichi M6A1 Seiran represents a niche response to naval strategy. Although it never flew in combat operations, it is notable for its compact folding mechanisms.

Modelling notes and display tips

Builders will enjoy the precise moulding and the challenge of assembling folding elements and underwing stores. The completed model suits shelf display or a small harbour diorama showing the tight storage profile.
