Fujimi 723334 C-39 Aichi Type 99 Carrier Dive Bomber Model 11/22 1/72 – plastic model kit

Fujimi 723334 C-39 represents the highest level of precision among 1/72 scale aircraft models. The kit depicts the legendary Japanese carrier-based dive bomber Aichi Type 99, also known by the Allied codename "Val." This aircraft was used exclusively by the Imperial Japanese Navy and entered service just before the outbreak of World War II, making its operational debut during the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

The Aichi Type 99 was a key element of Japanese naval aviation from 1939 to 1945. It was renowned for its high accuracy during dive-bombing missions and participated in the most important Pacific campaign battles, such as the Battle of Midway and the Guadalcanal campaign. The Model 11 and 22 variants differed mainly in minor aerodynamic and landing gear improvements, which Fujimi has faithfully recreated in this kit.

The model is made of high-quality plastic, allowing for detailed reproduction of the fuselage structure, cockpit, and bomber armament. The kit does not include glue or paints, allowing the modeler to personally select painting supplies and arrange the final appearance of the finished aircraft. The set includes decals enabling the construction of two different paint schemes, appreciated by both beginner enthusiasts and advanced World War II aircraft collectors.
