[Product introduction]
HASEGAWA 1/48 Mitsubishi F1M2 Type 0 water observation aircraft 11 type. The Type 0 surface observation aircraft (official name: Type 0 observation aircraft) was developed to replace the carrier-based surface reconnaissance aircraft that had previously performed reconnaissance and observation of impact. What was required was to improve climbing performance, fighting performance, and speed performance. The Type 0 observation aircraft, which was adopted as a standard over two companies famous for seaplanes, Aichi and Kawanishi, had a streamlined and sophisticated appearance, and although it was a biplane, it had a design that did not feel old. Its operational mission was multi-purpose, and it was used for various purposes such as patrolling, reconnaissance, escorting convoys, and demonstrating its excellent fighting performance to intercept ships, as well as attacking ships with small bombs. A total of about 1000 machines were produced by 1945.
