Any B5N-2 Kate pictures?

Hello All…I’m going to build a 1/48 Kate torpedo bomber…the kit instructions (Nichimo) are the worst I’ve ever seen. The painting suggestions aren’t very good, so I was hoping some members could post some pics of there finished models.(I’m trying to avoid painting it green/gray) Thanks

First of all, welcome to the forum, VMF 214 !

Here are some models from the j-aircraft site, a must for anyone building WW II Japanese aircraft.

Their main page is here.

Hope this helps.

Did I understand it right - you don’t want to paint it green/gray?
Think there are two other paint schemes possible: topside in IJN Green with brown blotches, or early variants in overall light gray. http://www.greatmodels.com/inventory/images/Hasegawa/ha09442.JPG

I built a Kate from Hasegawa long time ago > http://www.andis-hangar.com/Kate.htm

Yes, I’m trying to avoid painting it green/grey because I want to build about 5 Japanese aircraft and they all seem to have the same paint scheme.

Thanks for the pics and links…I’d been to the j-aircraft site but I must have missed all those pics.
