Eduard 48363 B5N Kate 1/48 (HASEGAWA) – Japanese Aircraft Model Detail Set

The Eduard 48363 photo-etched detail set designed for the B5N Kate in 1/48 scale (Hasegawa) is a high-quality accessory that allows you to significantly enhance the level of detail of your replica of the iconic Japanese torpedo bomber from World War II. The B5N2, also known as "Kate," was the main torpedo bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy and played a key role during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Aircraft of this type were heavily involved in combat operations in the Pacific until 1945.

The offered Eduard 48363 photo-etched set includes a collection of highly precise components made from thin sheet metal, intended for self-assembly and painting. These details allow you to accurately recreate essential sections of the crew cockpit, instrument panels, seatbelts, control levers, and landing gear details—features not typically included in standard plastic model kits. As a result, your B5N Kate model will gain realism and impressive depth, faithfully reflecting the appearance of the original aircraft.
