Eduard 49771 E8N1 Dave HASEGAWA 1/48 – Photo-Etched Detail Set

The Eduard 49771 photo-etched detail set is dedicated for the Hasegawa E8N1 "Dave" kit in 1:48 scale. This high-quality modelling accessory allows you to significantly enhance the level of detail of the replica of the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft from the World War II era. Thanks to advanced photo-etched elements, the modeller can faithfully reproduce even the smallest structural details, which are unattainable using only the plastic parts provided in the base kit.

Recreating the Legendary E8N1 "Dave"

The Nakajima E8N1 was a Japanese reconnaissance seaplane used by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1935 to 1945. These aircraft were deployed during World War II aboard battleships and cruisers, including during the Battle of the Coral Sea and actions in the Pacific and China. The 1:48 scale allows for an excellent reproduction of the airplane's characteristic proportions and structural nuances, while the detailed photo-etched parts enable realistic depiction of the cockpit, seatbelts, instrument panel, as well as exterior panels and access hatches.
