Tamiya 1/48 Aichi M6a1 Serian Model Kit

The Aichi M6A1 Seiran was Japan's remarkable submarine-launched bomber, designed to fold into the hangar of I-400 class submarines for surprise attacks on the Panama Canal. Three aircraft would be assembled and catapult-launched from the surfaced submarine. The war ended before the daring mission could be executed, but the concept presaged modern submarine-launched cruise missiles. Tamiya's 1/48 kit includes float and wheel landing gear options with folding wing detail.
