Description

1/900th scale B5N Kate Torpedo Bomber model. Certain elements not to scale.

The B5N Kate was the primary torpedo bomber used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during WWII. It crewed three people and was used successfully in many well-known naval battles in the Pacific.

This model is designed and tested at 1/900th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/900th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. The model has been enlarged along the z axis to allow for better printing and accentuation of detail. The model has also been given thicker elements for strength. The wingspan and overall length are to scale.

Available are both individual and squadron files. You can find the stand at https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-print-models/miniatures/vehicles/stand-for-miniature-aircraft.

This is part of my collection of WWII aircaft, keep an eye out for more to come. If you have a specific request, message me and I'll bump it up my list.

Update 03 Oct 19: Added option with propellors. Rearranged squadron option. Adjustments for better printability.

Tested with PLA at .05mm layer height with .4mm nozzle.
