Airfix - Nakajima B5N1 "Kate" - 1:72 (A04060)
When the Nakajima B5N1 torpedo bomber entered service in
1937, it was the most advanced aircraft of its type in the world. Known by
its Allied reporting name of ‘Kate’, the B5N1 proved devastatingly effective
in the early Pacific engagements of WWII.
Known as the Type 97 Carrier
Attack Bomber, the B5N1 ‘Kate’ was the main Japanese naval attack aircraft
of the war and was to take a heavy toll of Allied shipping. Even though it
served throughout WWII, the ‘Kate’ was obsolete by the time newer American
fighters entered the Pacific War but it was forced to continue fighting, as
an effective replacement aircraft was not available to the Japanese Navy.
