Hasegawa 1/72 Nakajima B5N2 (Kate): Recreating a WWII Naval Bomber

The Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" was a vital torpedo bomber in the Pacific theatre. Hasegawa's 1/72 rendition offers a compact and accurate model that highlights the aircrafts role in naval operations and invites careful assembly and finishing.

Detailing and Historical Accuracy

The kit shows the B5N2s profile with moulded detail for cockpit and torpedo fittings. Components are produced to represent correct shapes and panel lines, so modellers aiming for scale realism will find the kit rewarding.

Assembly Guidance and Paintwork

Targeted at builders with some experience, this kit benefits from test-fitting and light sanding before glue. Paint and decal work will define the final appearance, so patience and thin coats are advised for an even finish.

Collecting and Presentation

1/72 scale makes the finished model convenient for group displays or a focused shelf of naval aircraft. The model pairs well with resin crew figures or simple display bases to set a period scene.
