1/48 SCALE AICHI M6A1 SEIRAN

Length: 221mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

During the Pacific War, several of the Imperial Japanese Navy's submarines were equipped with a catapult and floatplanes to conduct surprise air attacks. The Aichi M6A1 Seiran was designed specifically for a mission to conduct an attack on the Panama canal, and could hold a payload of up to 800kg of torpedos and bombs, while its airspeed of 560km/h without its floats it was not far off of the famed Zero fighter. Three were stationed on board the I-400 submarine, and in July 1945 set off to take part in a surprise attack on Ulithi atoll but Japan surrendered before the attack could be launched.
