HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Aichi B7A2 Ryusei, codenamed "Grace" by the Allies, was a unique and advanced torpedo and dive bomber operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service during the later stages of World War II. Introduced in 1944, the Ryusei played a role in the conflict's final chapters, attempting to counter the increasingly challenging Allied naval and air supremacy.
The aircraft was part of the Kougeki 5th Hikotai, assigned to the 752nd Kokutai. It faced its baptism of fire in the intense air battles and naval engagements of the Pacific Theater in 1945. The Ryusei was distinctive for its innovative design, featuring a sleek fuselage, retractable landing gear, and a powerful engine, which provided it with good speed and agility for a bomber of its size. However, despite its capabilities, the Ryusei faced the overwhelming might of the Allied forces as Japan struggled in the face of defeat.
Meticulously crafted, 1:72 scale model captures the details of the "Grace" bomber, from its distinct shape to the markings of the Kougeki 5th Hikotai. Aviation enthusiasts and collectors alike will appreciate the opportunity to own a piece of history, commemorating the Aichi B7A2 Ryusei's role in the final chapters of World War II.
