Description

This figure set depicts a tense pre-mission briefing and you can almost hear the squadron leader say "Remember to avoid dogfights against the Zero. Use hit-and-run tactics from above and behind to take them out." The U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier forces played a large role in the defeat of the Japanese forces in WWII, and this model kit reproduces a scene from the deck of one of these flat tops. The pilots are depicted in tropical uniforms and life jackets as they hunch over a plotting board prior to their next mission. Two deck crew figures and a moto-tug with driver are also included to further liven things up, and these figures can be paired with 1/48 scale models of U.S. Navy aircraft such as the Corsair in dynamic dioramas.

  • Moto-tug Length: 62mm
  • Set includes 5 pilot figures, 2 deck crew figures, and a moto-tug with driver.
  • Pilots feature tropical uniforms and life jackets.
  • Moto-tug comes with two types of towing bars, one for an aircraft's main wheels and the other for an aircraft's tailwheel.

    Miniatures are supplied unpainted and some assembly may be required.
