It served with the Imperial Navy from the mid-1930s until the beginning of 1942. Its primary use was for air operations from the decks of IJN aircraft carriers, as well as from land bases of Japanese units in Asia. The aircraft took part in actions during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the first months of World War II in the Pacific. The kit includes four historically accurate painting schemes: aircraft from the 12th and 14th Kokutai operating in China and on the Korean Peninsula in 1938, including a specimen flown by Kyosaku Aoki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit, 1\/72 scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eThe kit includes 5 sprues, including one clear sprue for the canopy glazing elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eSet contains photo-etched details, painting masks, special foil for instrument panel dials, and high-quality decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eColorful, richly illustrated assembly instructions ensure comfort during the build\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eThe model features excellent surface details, very good part fit, and meticulously reproduced panel lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview and recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ci\u003eClear Prop!
