The plastic model kit Hasegawa 07458 Nakajima C6N1-s Night Fighter SAIUN Myrt in 1/48 scale is designed for demanding modelers who value accuracy and historical significance in their assembled aircraft. This model replicates one of the most interesting Japanese aviation designs of that era—a night fighter based on the legendary reconnaissance aircraft Saiun (Myrt).

The Nakajima C6N1-s Saiun aircraft served with the Japanese Navy Air Service (Dai-Nippon Teikoku Kaigun Kōkū-tai). The first machines entered service in 1943. The original C6N1 was a fast, highly specialized reconnaissance aircraft, designated "Myrt" by the Allies. At the end of the war, a night fighter version (C6N1-s) was developed, equipped with an upward-firing cannon position designed to combat American bombers. The Nakajima C6N1-s was used mainly during the defense of Japan in the final phase of World War II (1944-1945).
