Why this kit matters
The Mitsubishi F2B was an important early carrier-based fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy. It played a role in the development of Japanese naval aviation. Building a model of Prototype No. 4 allows you to explore the early stages of aircraft development and testing. The F2B helped pave the way for more advanced Japanese naval aircraft that would be used later in World War II.
This model kit allows you to recreate the Mitsubishi F2B PROTOTYPE No.4 in detailed miniature. It captures the essence of this early Japanese fighter and provides an engaging building experience for modellers. The finished model is a great display piece, celebrating the history and engineering of early Japanese aviation.
How to use it
This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly. Painting and gluing are required for completion. Carefully detach the parts from the sprues using modelling tools and follow the instructions for assembly. Pay close attention to detail when painting the aircraft and applying the markings to achieve a realistic and visually appealing result. The rigging (wires between the wings) requires careful attention and precise placement.
