Description
Dive into the heart of aerial combat with the Ace Fighters Story series, meticulously crafted to bring the tales of heroic pilots and their legendary planes to life. This edition shines a spotlight on the valiant pilots of the Shiden 11b "Otsu" and their daring exploits. The "Kihei-tai," also known as the 403rd Squadron, was an elite unit established in May 1945, tasked with the formidable challenge of defending Tokyo's skies during a critical period of World War II. Facing off against formidable adversaries, including B-29 bombers, P-51 Mustangs, and carrier-based fighters like the F4U Corsairs and F6F Hellcats, the 403rd Squadron showcased unparalleled bravery. The Shiden 11b "Otsu" itself is immortalized for its pivotal role in the battle over the Bungo Channel, where a mere 12 "Otsu" fighters took on an overwhelming force of 500 Allied planes.
This model kit is a tribute to those fearless pilots and their iconic aircraft, offering enthusiasts a piece of history to build and cherish. Molded in high-quality gray and clear plastic, this kit captures the intricate details of the Shiden 11b "Otsu," bringing the legend to your collection. It also includes decals to add authenticity and detail to your model, allowing for a more immersive building experience.
