Border Models BF-005 1/35 Nakajima B5N2 Type 97 "Kate" Bomber with Interior

Model Kit

A defining element of early Pacific War naval aviation, the Nakajima B5N is presented here in its improved B5N2 form, the variant that spearheaded some of the most consequential strikes of 1941–1942. Best known for its central role in the Pearl Harbor attack, the “Kate” served as the Imperial Japanese Navy’s primary torpedo and level bomber, combining long range, reliability, and payload flexibility in a design that proved highly effective in the war’s opening phase.

This kit emphasizes the aircraft’s internal structure, offering a fully detailed cockpit, observer, and radio operator positions that reflect the multi-crew coordination required for torpedo and bombing missions.
