About product

Tai-atari Yuyoku Funshindan - a Japanese rocket project in 1:48 scale

Planet Models, a brand that specializes in resin kits of unusual subjects, brings to 1:48 a model of a Japanese rocket aircraft that never reached series production. It is a resin kit aimed at more experienced modelers; the name refers to project forms 1 and 2.

The real subject

In the closing stages of the Second World War, as Allied formations closed in on the Japanese home islands, a string of desperate designs for homeland defense took shape in Japan. The word tai-atari denotes the tactic of deliberately ramming a target, and Yuyoku Funshindan can be loosely rendered as a winged rocket projectile. It was the concept of a miniature rocket aircraft whose only task was a steep attack on an enemy target. The project stayed on paper, which makes its rendition in a display case all the more interesting.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin castings in warm soapy water before gluing so that the mold release residue disappears. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw and do the sanding with respiratory protection. Join the parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), and pin them where extra strength is needed.

Who the model is for

  • experienced builders of resin kits
  • collectors of Japanese projects and prototypes
  • anyone drawn to the end of the war in the Pacific
  • modelers after a subject not everyone has

The resin kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted, and cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and paints are not included.

FAQ

Not really. The resin parts call for cutting off the casting blocks, sanding and gluing with cyanoacrylate, which takes some experience.

No, the concept stayed at the project stage; that is exactly what makes the model attractive to collectors of unbuilt designs.

Use cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); ordinary polystyrene cement will not bond resin.
