The Tamiya 61084 model kit depicts the early Nakajima Gekko Type 11 night fighter at 1/48 scale. It is tailored to hobbyists who appreciate well-engineered parts and faithful external detailing.

Background and Key Engineering

The twin-engined Gekko employed Sakae engines to gain performance against single-engine fighters and was introduced in 1943. Its role in nocturnal interception of heavy bombers and the oblique gun arrangement are important historical notes that the kit captures in scale form.
