The H6K was developed by Kawanishi in 1934 in response to the RAF's Short Rangoon biplane flying-boat. The first prototype took its maiden flight two years later. By 1938, the H6K was aiding the I.J.N. in the Sino-Japanese War. An ability to endure 24-hour patrols made the H6K ideal for bombing and long-range recon missions during World War II. This limited edition kit features new photo-etched radar parts.
