B5N1 Kate Lt. Ichiro Kitajima IJN Carrier Kaga Pearl Harbor Dec 1941 hobby Master HA2014W scale 1:72
Hobby Master Scale Air Power series
Scale 1:72
The Nakajima B5N1 first flew in January 1937. It was quite unique for a carrier-aircraft with its low mono wing that folded for storage and wide-track inward folding retractable landing gear. The new Kates were far superior to its competition, the TBD Devastator and the Fairey Swordfish, however, it did have its shortcomings. It was very poorly armed for self-defense and required A5M escort protection. Also the crew and fuel tanks had no protection. The B5N1 was replaced by the improved B5N2.
