Hasegawa 1:72 Scale B5N2 Kate Model Kit

the only problem I had was the shaft on the propeller was a little lose other than that it came our looking really good

An older kit, but still a great build. No figures and thee canopy is quite thick. While this kit goes together very easily, it might be a bit frustrating for a newer builder, as the instructions suffer from great detail as you usually find in older 1970's vintage kits. Still I would rate this better than the new kits from AirFix, as the plastic is thinner and made from better quality styrene, and it doesn't suffer from the current AF kits that have odd construction choices.

I was disappointed. I order from the page an Airfix Nakajima Kate and got a Hasagawa kit. Well, the Airfix kit is gone and hard to find for any price. I can buy the Hasagawa kit for about hlf what I paid for it. Live and learn.

My 12 year old son put this model airplane together by himself. It was his very first model kit. Parts fit nicely and are nicely detailed. Instructions and decals are great. I recommend!

No issues, nice little aircraft

I completed this one in silver overall. It went together nicely with no significant issues. I would buy this kit again, for sure.

It is a good model but with 20 years old tecnology, so some parts does not fit perfectly (but fizable with some sanding and cutting).Also canopy is not cut so if you want the artillery gunner open be careful with the cutting.

Loved it once completed it will be great in my collection, just wished I could find a Val dive bomber to go with it

安価なので他の方のレビューを承知で購入し、仮組を始めています。最大の課題であるキャノピー前端と機体の隙間ですが、切りっぱなしでは確かに盛大に隙間が空きます。ただ、色々試行錯誤した結果、キャノピーが機体に対して角当たりしているのが原因であり、キャノピー側の第一座席以降と機体との接合面を慎重に機体に沿って削る事で隙間が無くなりました。あとはキャノピー用接着剤でなんとかなりそうです。バリは確かにありますが基本形状に影響は無いです。機体、主翼を合わせてみましたが主翼に若干のそりはありますが接着に影響は無さそうで主翼の上下、機体と合い具合、モールドは良好です。原形は相当昔のものらしいですが、その頃にこれができていたのであれば技術は高かったのではないかと思います。完成が楽しみです。
