FPJ103 - Farpro Japan 1/72 Nakajima C6N1 Saiun (Myrt) - WWHP111716

Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The Nakajima C6N Saiun ("iridescent cloud") was the IJN's dedicated carrier reconnaissance aircraft, designed for the speed to simply outrun interception — prompting the famous signal "no Grummans can catch us." It tracked the US fleet through the Marianas and Philippine campaigns, and a Saiun was among the last Japanese aircraft shot down in the war, minutes before the surrender took effect.

This is the vintage Farpro Japan export boxing in the distinctive line-art green box, companion to the Shiun (No.104) in the same Japanese Navy reconnaissance series.

Box contents:

• Parts molded in plastic with clear canopy
• Waterslide decals for IJN markings
• Assembly instructions
