¹⁄72

A double boxing release in 1/72 scale, not sure if this is a re-release?but a nice pair any way !

The Philippine Island Chain was essential to Imperial Japanese war plans. It sat astride the shipping lanes that kept Japan supplied with oil. U.S. forces were sent to capture the islands and the IJN was determined to stop them. The resulting "Battle of Leyte Gulf" was one of the most confusing surface actions ever fought but one thing was clear-American airpower enabled our forces to find, strike, and destroy the IJN in detail. This limited edition kit combo features two aircraft with three sets of decals for each.
