The Kyushu J7W Shinden is one of the most unusual designs produced by the Japanese aviation industry during the Second World War. This prototype fighter aircraft was characterised by a unique layout featuring a rear-mounted engine and a canard wing configuration, representing a revolutionary approach to military aircraft design at the time.
The 1:72 scale model from Altaya / de Agostini faithfully reproduces all the characteristic features of this experimental aircraft. The set includes a high-quality display stand and landing gear in two variants – extended and retracted – allowing the aircraft to be displayed in both flight and ground configurations.
For enthusiasts of similar historical aircraft, we also recommend exploring the Northrop P-61 Black Widow or the Japanese Nakajima A6M2-N Rufe models, which represent further interesting designs from the Second World War era.
