Born of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s urgent need for a versatile dive and torpedo bomber, the Ginga finally entered service in 1944 after early hurdles with its Homare engines and hydraulics. When it did, it carved a brief but significant combat record—including sorties across China, the Marianas, the Philippines, and kamikaze missions during the Okinawa Campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis limited-edition Hasegawa kit offers parts to recreate Ginga units from the 761st and 762nd Naval Flying Groups, faithfully capturing a crucial yet often overlooked chapter of Pacific War aviation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hasegawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974841499861,"sku":"HSG2393","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/hasegawa-2393-1-72-kugisho-p1y1-ginga-frances-type-11-model-aircraft-kit.jpg?v=1756920145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/hasegawa-2393-1-72-kugisho-p1y1-ginga-frances-type-11-model-aircraft-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
