Tamiya 61093 1/48 Nakajima J1N1-Sa Gekko WWII Night Fighter Model  [61093]

Introduction to the Nakajima J1N1-Sa Gekko Kit

The Nakajima J1N1-Sa became notable as a night fighter in World War II after adaptation from its original specification. It scored engagements against heavy US bombers such as the B-17 and B-24, and this model brings that wartime silhouette to a 1/48 scale kit. Tamiya 61093 recreates the aircrafts external profile and visible details for display or diorama work.

Design Changes and Scale Representation

The J1N1-Sa shows how airframes were altered for night operations, and the kit highlights those changes. Key features like the single exhaust stacks and the trio of 20mm cannons on the upper fuselage are accurately modelled, and you can represent the gun hatch either open or closed depending on the scene you want to build.

Workshop Tips and Model Options

This 1/48 model provides an engaging build with a cockpit that can be posed open to show interior fittings. Parts are included to fit the radar antenna if you want that operational detail, giving options that improve the model's versatility in a collection.
