Tamiya 61093 1/48 Nakajima J1N1-Sa Gekko Scale Model  [61093]

Intro to the Nakajima J1N1-Sa Gekko Model

The Nakajima J1N1-Sa came to prominence as a night interceptor during World War II after initial service in other roles. Noted in combat against heavier US bombers such as the B-17 and B-24, this aircraft is recreated here in 1/48 scale with attention to panel lines and silhouette. Tamiya 61093 reproduces the plane's defining shapes and surface features for modellers aiming for historical accuracy.

Authentic Details and Wartime Modifications

The J1N1-Sa variant shows how designers altered a base airframe to meet night fighting needs. This kit highlights the modelled single exhaust stacks and the three 20mm cannon arrangement on the upper fuselage. Builders can choose to display the gun hatch either open or closed to emphasise internal structure.

Build Character and Presentation

This kit provides a rewarding construction sequence with a detailed cockpit that can be shown through an open or closed canopy. Options to fit the radar antenna allow you to depict different operational fits and improve the model's display versatility.
