Description: Up for sale is a De Agostini WWII Warbird 1:72 w/Box and Magazine in Japanese DAWF96Aichi M6A1 SeiranIJNAS, Submarine Launched Attack Floatplane Disquised Coloring The Aichi M6A Seiran (晴嵐, "Clear Sky Storm"[1]) is a submarine-launched attack floatplane designed for the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. It was intended to operate fromI-400 class submarines whose original mission was to conduct aerial attacks against the United States. The first mission of the Seiran squadron, which was named the Shinryuu Tokubetsukougeki-tai (神龍特別攻撃隊, meaning "God-Dragon Special Attack Squad") was to be a surprise air strike on the Gatun Locks of the Panama Canal, to cut the main supply line for US forces in the Pacific. When the force was finally ready to set off on their mission against Panama, Japan's increasingly desperate situation led to a change in plan, with the target for the attack, called Operation Hikari (Splendour), being switched to the American base at Ulithi Atoll where forces, including aircraft carriers, were massing in preparation for attacks on the Japanese Home Islands. The flotilla departed Japan on 23 July 1945 and proceeded towards Ulithi. On 16 August, the flagship I-401 received a radio message from headquarters, informing them of Japan's Surrender and ordering them to return to Japan. All six Seirans on board the two submarines, having been disguised for the operation as American planes in violation of the laws of war, were catapulted into the sea with their wings and stabilizers folded or pushed overboard to prevent capture.
