[C-26] 1/72 E14Y type Zero Reconnaisance seaplane

Recreate a piece of aviation history with the Fujimi 1/72 E14Y Type Zero Reconnaissance Seaplane (C-26) plastic model kit. This highly detailed kit allows enthusiasts to build the iconic Imperial Japanese Navy floatplane, known by the Allied code name "Glen," famous for its unique role as a submarine-launched reconnaissance aircraft during World War II. The E14Y holds the distinction of being the only Japanese aircraft to bomb the United States mainland during the conflict.

Designed for transport aboard submarines, the actual E14Y featured foldable wings, allowing it to be stowed in watertight hangars. The aircraft was powered by a Hitachi Tempu 12 nine-cylinder air-cooled radial engine.

This Fujimi kit captures the essence of this historic aircraft with precision. It features engraved panel lines and raised rivet detail, providing an authentic look. The kit includes a one-piece canopy and a bomb-aimer's window in the belly of the fuselage. The basic cockpit is detailed with seats, a control yoke, and a bulkhead separating the pilot and bomb-aimer.

• Plastic model kit parts (approximately 42 parts)
