The Kawanishi H6K was built in 1936 and variants saw action in the IJN throughout WWII.
36 of the H6K5 were built.

This four-engined float plane had one of the longest endurance times of any aircraft of the day. It was capable of staying aloft for full 24 hour periods, flying at 138 mph and covering a max range of over 4,000 miles. With its range and payload of torpedoes or bombs, it made an ideal patrol aircraft for the long hauls over the Pacific Ocean. The K5 variants had improved engines for even greater performance. Kit features new pylon and torpedo parts.

IJN Toukou N.F.G. Code: O-13

Stock Number: HSGS2163

Nice news but I wonder if there will be any improvement of the molds since the 'Mavis' was first released in the late 1960s - early 70s?
