I received this kit as a surprise thank-you gift; I don't know where they got it, but this kit deserves a review. This kit is excellent. The attention to detail (especially the interior) along with a beautiful fit with the two fuselage halves is really surprising.; no wrestling, glue wiping, cutting, puttying sanding and whatever usually going with heavy detail just wasn't there; it went together great. Instructions for such a complex and detailed kit were, again, surprising. Hasegawa, often falls short here, but not this time. Can't say the aircraft itself is beautiful or unique. It seems The Japanese used a cookie cutter to create all the different single engine bombers, and in the historic reality this was a loser compared to what came before and what was built by competitors at the end of the war. Lets just say it is rugged and handsome, and the kit itself rates as a beauty.: a pleasure to build.

I really enjoyed this model and the aircraft is beautiful. It shows well on IJN carrier deck for the Zuikaku.

The fit and detail of the Cockpit is phenomenal. It makes you want to spend the extra time fine detailing. The rest of the plane goes together smoothly keeping up the quality reputation of Hasegawa. I have only one issue and that has to do with the center torpedo mounting hole position relative to the belly. Not sure which was supposed to be correct so i chose not to use it. ( cant see it so not an issue )
