[C-10] 1/72 Nakajima J1N

Experience the formidable presence of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Nakajima J1N2 Gekko (Moonlight) Type 21 with this 1/72 scale plastic model kit from Fujimi. Known by the Allied reporting name "Irving," the J1N was initially conceived as a long-range escort fighter before proving its true prowess as a dedicated night fighter during World War II, famously equipped with upward-firing cannons to intercept Allied bombers.

This Fujimi kit captures the distinctive lines of this twin-engine heavy fighter. Builders can expect a detailed representation of the aircraft, featuring crisp, engraved panel lines that enhance the realism of the finished model. The clear plastic parts provide excellent transparency for the canopy, allowing for a clear view of the cockpit.

The kit provides the essential components for assembly, allowing enthusiasts to recreate this iconic night fighter. Decals are typically included, offering various marking options for Imperial Japanese Navy units, including those operating from Rabaul. Some Fujimi J1N kits have also featured metal parts for the cannon barrels, adding an extra layer of detail to the armament.
