Historical Information From The Hasegawa Website:

Nicknamed “Emily” By The Allies, The Kawanishi H8K2 Was First Developed In June Of 1943. The H8K2 Boasted Many Advantages Over The H8K1, Most Notably Mitsubishi® Mk4Q Engines And An Upgraded Tail Gun Turret. Later Versions Lacked Side Gun Blisters; These Featured Air-To-Surface-Vessel Search Radar. These Improvements Helped Make The H8K2 A Favorite With Pilots In The Ijn. Its Heavy Bomb Load, Long Range, And Radar Made It An Effective Anti-Sub And Patrol Aircraft. Only Four Survived The War.
