If you spotted this at the bottom of another story the other day – well done! We posted a slightly blurry image of a bright-red spaceship, which I'm sure many of you twigged was an addition to our Japanese fleet. It's the Amagi carrier, which size-wise matches up to the Iwari dreadnought. It's accompanied by two new fighter types, the Katana interceptor and the Bisento attack fighter. We'll have stocks of these on Saturday, along with some Japanese carrier group packs.

Amagi carrier group

Bisento attack fighter

Katana interceptor

SFSP-1503 – Japanese Carrier group – £24.00 GBP
SFS-1510 – Amagi class Carrier – £12.00 GBP
SFS-1560 – Katana class Interceptor – £1.50 GBP
SFS-1561 – Bisento class Attack Fighter – £1.50 GBP

If you were wondering, the Kidō Butai ("Mobile Strike Force") was the Japanese navy's tactical designation for its combined carrier battle groups at Pearl Harbor.
