The Marushin range presents detailed, pre-painted diecast aircraft kits of
military aircraft in 1:48 scale. The models require some basic assembly using
a screwdriver and some glue. Most of the components are designed to
"press-fit" together, but the application of a small amount of superglue during
assembly results in a much more robust finished model. Each model includes an
illustrated step-by-step instruction sheet with Japanese text. Although no
English translation is available, the illustrations are quite simple to follow.
Marushin diecast airplane kits feature:
Pre-painted components in kit form with illustrated instructions.
Heavy diecast metal construction with some plastic components.
Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
