1/72 Hasegawa Santa Cruz


Recommended Posts

Here's my 1/72 Santa Cruz two-seat reconnaissance seaplane from Hasegawa's Creator Works Series. It's a nice little kit that goes together quite well, except a couple of tricky areas.

The plane itself is from the Japanese animated film The Princess and The Pilot, adapted from the Japanese war-romance novel of the same name. In the story, the Santa Cruz is a state-of-the-art seaplane with several unique features, such as having both retractable floats and wheels for land and sea operations, fighter-like agility, a range of 3100km, and a top speed of 620km/h. However, it has little in the way of offensive weaponry and its sole defensive armament is a rearward-facing 7.7mm machine gun operated by the passenger.
