Kawanishi N1K2-J Shidenkai (George) Hasegawa 00136 1:72 Scale Plastic Model Kit

< br>

31 December 1943 "Kawanishi" N1K2-J "Shiden" Kai, which received the name "sea fighter-interceptor" Shiden KAI"; model 21" made its first flight. The engine again caused the complaints of testers and engineers, but the decision was made to launch the car into series anyway. The Navy adopted the N1K2-J as its primary fighter and fighter-bomber.

However the pace of construction of the new machine left much to be desired: by June 1944, only 7 new fighters were built. However, according to numerous aviation experts and historians, the N1K2-J "Shiden" Kai can be considered one of the best fighters of World War II. A well-known episode in February 1945 saw 12 Grumman Hellcat fighters engage in combat against a single N1K2-J Shiden Kai of the 343rd Air Corps piloted by Kinsuke Muto. During the air battle, four American vehicles were shot down, the rest retreated. Thus, in the hands of experienced pilots, "Shiden" was a formidable weapon capable of influencing the situation not only in a single battle, but also in the battle in general.
