Airfix Nakajima B5N2 Kate
1:72 NAKAJIMA B5N2 `KATE`
1:72 The Nakajima B5N2 'Kate' was the most numerous Japanese topedo bomber of the Second World War and
while primarily operated as a torpedo bomber from carriers , it also saw service as a land based bomber. A single engine
monoplane, it was defended by just one rearward firing machine gun, operated by the radio operator, and its relatively low speed left it vulnerable to enemy aircraft. However it proved to be a devastatingly effective machine in skies not defended by enemy fighters, performing well at Pearl Harbor and going on to have success at the Battle of the Coral Sea and Midway
