Hasegawa's fine 1/72 Ginga (Kugisho P1Y1) kit flies again in a Special Edition featuring Tadashiro Kato box art and a choice of two torpedo carrying Type 11 Yokosuka Ku aircraft. The kit includes a resin torpedo with the plywood stabiliser extension and a resin interior piece to extend the bomb bay which attaches to the rear of the kit's cockpit floor after cutting away the ventral bulkhead. Decals are provided for ヨ(Yo)-231 or ヨ(Yo)-233 of Yokosuka Ku at Oppama airfield in 1944.
The resin parts are crisply moulded in grey and once the kit's bomb bay doors have been separated the torpedo is fitted semi-recessed beneath the aircraft. A torpedo carrying Ginga was previously released by Hasegawa in 1999. The standard Hasegawa Type 11 Ginga kit is currently available as a stock item.
