1/48 HASEGAWA B5N2 KATE MODEL 3 

One of my favorite aircraft, with the Val and the Grace, those wing span shapes are just amazing. I bought this model 2 years ago and now its finally finished

Enjoy my friend

On the close inspection there is a big gap between the fuselage and the windshield that really spoils the whole picture. Was the fit so bad?

Great model! In particular, I like the wire antennae. I also noticed the front windshield gap, but it is very nice overall. Nice work.

Yeah i did notice it during the final assembly. But the fit is poor and i didnt test fit this part earlier. If i press it too hard it will stress the clear part and it will not be great. If you are using the 1 piece closing canopy it fit just fine

Great model with perfect finish.

You can close the gap of the windscreen with white glue. You brush it into the gap and it will dry totally transparent. Maybe apply twice after drying. The gap will be invisible after drying. If something goes wrong, you can easily remove dried white glue because it is not a solvent and destroys nothing.

Thank you for the tip about the canopy. If I ever get one I'll test fit the windshield before glueing. Otherwise it looks the part!
