1/72 AV001 AV Models Aichi F1A1
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
The F1A1 was a Japanese Navy Experimental Observation Seaplane from the 1930s. The Navy tested three aircraft for the specific role of ship-based, catapult spotter aircraft: the Aichi F1A1, Mitsubishi F1M1 and Kawanishi F1K1. The competition was based on the ability to function from a warship, perform spotting duties and also have high enough speed, agility and gunpower to clear the skies of enemy aircraft. Although the Aichi F1A1 was superior in performance, the Kawanishi aircraft was chosen instead. The kit is beautifully molded in high definition resin and includes cast metal details. Never started. The small parts parts are still in the internal factory sealed bag; the larger parts are not sealed and inventoried complete. Includes decals and instructions.
