Hasegawa1:48 Scale B5N2 Type 97 Kate Model 3 Model Kit

Nice and easy

I find this pushing for a review by Amazon annoying. Good incentive not to buy on this platform.

Why no torpedo,the 1/72 scale b5n2 has a torpedo. I really wanted a torpedo. A torpedo would really make the model.

Great price for. the model

Smart kit, well done. Clear instructions, malleable plastic, fine details. Hasegawa is a quality brand.

Hasegawa makes some of the best kits around, and this is no exception. If you want to spend your time actually building and painting instead of dealing with continual problems from a sub-par kit (not that there's anything wrong with that), Hasegawa pays off almost every time. This is newer Hawegawa, and so fit and kit engineering are excellent. As an interesting side note, the cockpit and spare canopy from this kit (there are two) can be used to complete the older 1/48 Nichimo E13A "Jake" Japanese Navy recon float planes. The Nichimo E13 kit is the only one in existence, but has no real cockpit and very toylike clear parts. Some modification is required to get a fit, but this is still a better and easier option than the cottage industry resin option.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my grandson, so I recant say anything about the quality of the model, however I was extremely satisfied with the quickness I received the gift. It came sooner than was promised.

Great fit up! Good decals. Would like to have had more bomb, torpedo options.
