DeAgostini Reinforces its Aerial Campaign

Six more warbirds are set to join the DeAgostini 1:72 scale aerial armada this month, thereby bringing our ever-expanding squadron up to 11 releases from the original 12. We elected to drop the P-51 Mustang from the mix because it did not come in the bookcase format packaging, something we believe adds to the value of the product. The six newest include:

DAWF01 – Imperial Japanese Navy Kawanishi N1K2-J Shiden-kai “George” Fighter – Lt. Naoshi Kanno, 343 Kokutai, 304 Hikotai “Shinsen-Gumi,” 1945 [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)

DAWF08 – Imperial Japanese Army Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien “Tony” Fighter – Capt. Teruhiko Kobayashi, 244th Sentai, Chofu Air Base, 1945 [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)

DAWF10 – Imperial Japanese Navy Aichi B7A2 Ryusei “Grace” Dive-Bomber – Kougeki 5th Hikotai, 752nd Kokutai, 1945 [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)

DAWF11 – Imperial Japanese Navy Mitsubishi A6M2B “Zero” Model 21 Fighter – Lt(jg) Shigehisa Yamamoto, Akagi, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, December 7th, 1941 [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)

DAWF13 – USN Grumman F6F Hellcat Fighter – VF-24, USS Santee (CVE-29), 1945 [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)

DAWF15 – German Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 Fighter – IV./Jagdgeschwader 3 “Udet,” Prenzlau, Germany, 1945 [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)

Each warplane comes packed in its own slick bookcase format case which includes a fully illustrated color magazine written in Japanese. Bear in mind that there are 100 entrants in this series so if you plan to collect them all make sure you have the necessary space allotted to display each of these fabulous collectibles.
