Description: New HASEGAWA 1/48 Japanese Navy Nakajima B5N2 Type 97 JT76 Plastic Model Japan Description This is a plastic model that requires assembly and painting. Separate tools, paints, etc. are required. Product introduction 1/48 scale plastic model. The Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft, which incorporated numerous innovative features, was the Japanese Navy's first low-wing monoplane carrier-based attack aircraft with an all-metal monocoque structure. It features revolutionary hydraulic retractable landing gear, and the fuselage width is narrowest near the cockpit for a three-seater aircraft. The upward-folding wings reduce the overall width, allowing it to take up less storage space on an aircraft carrier. The propeller is an all-metal, two-stage, controllable-pitch, three-blade propeller, which efficiently utilizes engine power according to the situation, whether it be takeoff, climbing, cruising, or at high speed, resulting in a dramatic improvement in performance. On November 16, 1973, it was officially adopted as the Type 97 No. 1 carrier-based attack aircraft (B5N1). Although it was equipped with a Hikari engine, which was 300 hp less powerful than the Sakae engine originally planned, its performance exceeded the Navy's requirements. In the autumn of 1938, the Sakae engine was seen to be in sight for practical use, and it was installed in the aircraft. In December 1939, it was officially adopted as the Type 97 No. 3 carrier-based attack aircraft (B5N2), and mass production at Nakajima was switched to the Type 3. In December 1941, they took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor, which marked the start of the Pacific War. The Type 97 carrier attack planes carried by six aircraft carriers delivered concentrated bomb and torpedo attacks, inflicting fatal damage on ships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and achieving great success. Of particular note is the aircraft's high performance, which allowed it to successfully launch torpedoes at shallow depths, where torpedoes were previously thought to be impossible.
