It entered service even before World War II and was used not only for basic pilot training but also as a light anti-submarine and liaison aircraft. These machines were used, among other things, during the Pacific battles and for training kamikaze pilots. The Willow played an important role in preparing numerous pilots of the Japanese navy and provided a training background under difficult wartime conditions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/72\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct intended for self-assembly (plastic model kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of service:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical period: \u003cstrong\u003eWorld War II\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprue elements made of high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate reproduction of constructional details characteristic of the K5Y1 biplane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlue and paints not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly instructions included – clear and intuitive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho do we recommend it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nValom 72048 Yokosuka K5Y1 Willow 1\/72 is an excellent choice for intermediate and experienced modelers who want to expand their collection with a less common yet historically significant Japanese aircraft.
