Eduard SS592 H8K2 Emily HASEGAWA 1/72 – Photo-Etched Detail Set for the Japanese Flying Boat Model

The Eduard SS592 set is intended for upgrading the Hasegawa 1/72 scale plastic model of the H8K2 "Emily." The model represents the four-engine flying boat Kawanishi H8K2, which was one of the most advanced aircraft of its type used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. The H8K2 "Emily" was renowned for its excellent performance, resistance to combat damage, and long range, making it highly effective for reconnaissance missions and torpedo attacks across the Pacific between 1942 and 1945.

This "Zoom" accessory set consists of high-quality photo-etched parts made from brass sheet. It significantly enhances the level of detail in the cockpit and crew compartments. The set includes intricately reproduced seatbelts, detailed instrument panels, side consoles, levers, and various small components, which are virtually impossible to replicate with standard plastic parts. All elements are pre-colored, featuring meticulous printing, which streamlines the assembly process and reduces the need for manually painting the smallest details.
