Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA2010 B5N1 Type 97 Attack Bomber "Kate" Usa Naval Flying Group, 1943-1944.
The Nakajima B5N1 first flew in January 1937 and
soon saw combat during the Sino-Japanese
War that revealed several flaws. 1939 saw the introduction of the B5N2 with a larger engine and
several modifications compared to the B5N1.
Rather than add heavy armor to protect the crew
it was hoped that the new aircraft would be faster and better able to take on the US aircraft so by 1943 some B5N1s were relegated to flight training at Usa Air Base on Kyushu.
