Hasegawa 19197 Nakajima E8N1 Type 95 Reconnaissance Seaplane Dave

The Nakajima E8N Type 95 seaplane was developed in the mid-1930s as a catapult-launched aircraft which was deployed aboard all of the Imperial Japanese Navy capital ships of the day. The aircraft was not only an effective reconnaissance aircraft, it also served as an artillery spotter and dive-bomber. The first production aircraft was the E8N1 powered by a 580hp radial engine and served in the second Sino-Japanese war. While the type was still in service by the start of the Pacific War, it was soon replaced by the Aichi E13A and Mitsubishi F1M.
