[C-15] 1/72 Aichi E16A Zuiun Type11

This 1/72 scale rendition of the Aichi E16A Zuiun Type 11 captures the unique profile of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s versatile reconnaissance seaplane, known to the Allies by the code name Paul. Designed for both long-range scouting and dive-bombing missions, this model highlights the aircraft’s distinctive features, including the specialized dive brakes integrated into the forward float struts.

The kit features finely engraved panel lines and a detailed cockpit that provides a solid foundation for enthusiast builders. You can customize the final look of your build with options for an open or closed canopy, as well as the ability to display the dive brakes in either the retracted or deployed position. This version includes updated parts for the refurbished slit-style dive brakes, offering greater historical accuracy for late-war configurations.

For display, the kit includes a dedicated beaching trolley (dolly) to support the twin-float design. Armament options are provided to reflect its multi-role nature, featuring under-wing 60kg bombs and a 250kg bomb for the centerline rack. The included decal sheet has been refreshed for this release, providing high-quality markings for multiple aircraft, including those stationed on the hybrid battleship-carriers Ise and Hyuga.
