About product

Watanabe K11W1 Shiragiku, Hi-Tech Release, 1:72

Kovozavody Prostejov presents the Japanese naval trainer K11W1 under the original name of its design company, Watanabe, with a nod to 1943, the year the aircraft entered service. The Hi-Tech designation for this brand means richer box contents than the standard release of the same tooling offers.

A white chrysanthemum for crew training

The name Shiragiku translates as white chrysanthemum. It was a school aircraft used to train navigators, bombardiers, and radio operators of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The deep fuselage with a glazed cabin seated an instructor and several students, and power came from a lower-powered radial engine. The design originated at the Watanabe Tekkosho company, which was absorbed during the war by Kyushu Hikoki, which is why you will encounter both names for the same type. The prototype flew at the end of 1942, and production aircraft appeared the following year.

How to approach the model

The extensive glazing is the main task of the whole build. It is worth finishing the interior down to the last detail, since it will really be visible, and masking the frames gradually, starting from the narrowest strips. The green upper coat with bare metal on the underside stands out when you insert a thin, soft transition between the two surfaces.

Who it is for

  • collectors of Japanese naval technology
  • modelers who appreciate a release with above-standard contents
  • those interested in school and support types, not just fighters
  • builders looking for a subject with a large glazed area

The package includes only the parts and building materials, not paints, glue, or tools.

FAQ

The aircraft was designed by the Watanabe Tekkosho company, which was taken over during the war by Kyushu Hikoki. Both names therefore refer to the same type, just at different points in its history.

It is a more richly equipped variant of a release using the same tooling. The standard box tends to be more modest; Hi-Tech targets modelers who want to get more out of the build without buying extra accessories.

It trained the crews of bomber aircraft — navigators, bombardiers, and radio operators. Hence the unusually large glazed cabin and its gentle flight characteristics.
