Airfix Pearl Harbor Trio III: Kate
The new Airfix Nakajima B5N2 'Kate' is a very nice kit and a delight to build. Out-of-the-box with some little exceptions like tailcode letter "A" decal from a Hasegawa 1:200 DC-9-40 kit and steel wire pitot tube.
My model represents the first wave Akagi torpedo bomber flown by a hikotaicho (overall torpedo plane leader) Lt. Cmdr. Shigeharu Murata.
