Modeling the Airfix B5N2 Kate

I am in the middle of building the Airfix B5N2 Kate.  While this is an almost an OOB build, I have looked at available reference.  By far, the best is the  Kagero book on the Kate (#79), with the FAOW #32 on the Kate as the second, though if you have the Kagero book, you will have almost all of the photos from the FAOW #32.  If you are going to detail the cockpit, the Mikesh book on Japanese Aircraft Interiors is a must.  I am waiting for some decals from Hannants,, and will update you further.

A new video from Evan.  As I have told him, even though I don’t do model railroading, I learn a lot from his videos on that subject.

I love WWII history.  Another story I didn’t know.  Also, I have a kit of this aircraft.

Look at what we have here.  The biggest question this raises is how did Border Models get the molds?  Inquiring minds want to know.
