A plastic model that requires assembly and painting. Separate tools, paint, etc. are required.
Product introduction 1/48 scale plastic model. The Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft, which incorporates a number of new innovations, is the first low-wing monoplane carrier-based attack aircraft with an all-metal monocoque structure for the Japanese Navy. Equipped with revolutionary hydraulic retractable main landing gear, the fuselage width is widest near the cockpit and narrow for a three-seat aircraft. The adoption of upward-folding main wings shortens the overall width, reducing the storage space inside the aircraft carrier. The propeller uses an all-metal two-stage variable-pitch three-blade propeller, which efficiently delivers engine output according to each situation during takeoff, climb, cruising, and high speed, dramatically improving performance. On November 16, 1973, it was adopted as the Type 97 Carrier-Based Attack Aircraft No. 1 (B5N1), and instead of the originally planned "Sakae" engine, it was equipped with a "Hikari" engine with 300hp less power, but the Navy's The performance exceeded my requirements. In the fall of 1938, the Sakae engine was put into practical use, and it was installed, and in December 1939, it was officially adopted as the Type 97 Type 3 carrier-based attack aircraft (B5N2), and mass production at Nakajima was switched to the Type 3. . In December 1941, they participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor, the start of the Pacific War, and achieved great results by fatally injuring ships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet with concentrated bomb and torpedo attacks by the 97 carriers mounted on six aircraft carriers. I did. Among these, the fact that it was able to successfully strike shallow water at shallow depths, where it was considered impossible to strike with lightning, is noteworthy, as is the high performance of this aircraft.
