Excellent injection molded model that includes cast metal details. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The Type 90 Aircraft Carrier fighter was the first ship-born fighter designed and built in Japan. Nakajima worked out a design and had trial production for a new fighter to replace the old Type 3 fighter. This design, called the NY, failed Navy trials. However, Nakajima changed to another designer, Mr. Kurihara and he came up with another fighter called NY Kai which was equipped with a newly developed Kotobuki type engine. The prototype was done in May of 1931 and this design proved superior to the existing Type 3 fighter. it was officially adapted by the Navy as the Type 90 Carrier Fighter in April of 1932.
