Tamiya 36312 - 1/16 Japanese Fighter Pilot - WWII Imperial Navy  [36312]

Warrior of this Increasing Sun

This figure model depicts a Japanese Navy fighter pilot, who, during the controls regarding the famous Zero fighter, cleared the skies of Allied aircraft at the start of WWII. The look of the first war airmen including flight suit, flight limit, goggles, and life vest is accurately reproduced. The large 1/16 scale showcases the practical pose and expressive facial features of the figure perfectly. Modelers can decide to assemble the figure with hands folded or in a more heroic stance with a katana in its right hand. Goggle contacts are produced from clear components and ranking insignia are recreated with top-quality stickers. A display base is conveniently included too

In regards to the Uniform

Into the early stages associated with the war inside Pacific, the Japanese Navy airmens' standard uniform ended up being a flight suit, red leather-based journey boots and flight cap, and goggles with an anodized aluminum frame. Gloves and a life vest completed the ensemble. Certified rules did not allow a katana to be triggered board due to the risk of affecting the compass reading, but many photographs show airmen with katana in their aircraft.
