Product Description
--This is a guide to the new product 1/72 ASM-2N `BAT` from the Ukrainian A model.
--BAT is the world's first self-guided guided bomb developed by the US military at the end of World War II.
――The development of BAT, which was started in 1942, is a radar guidance system, equipped with an automatic tracking system that catches reflected waves with the radar provided on the nose after launching from the mother aircraft and automatically hits the target.
――Development was completed in 1945 and it was deployed in actual battle, but due to the nature of its guidance method, it can not be used on undulating ground, and it is said that it will not be guided to anti-ships if there is a shield such as a dock nearby. The usage was quite narrow, including weaknesses.
--In April 1945, the US Navy's PB4Y-2 was first used on Japanese ships, and by the end of the war, 2,580 aircraft had been produced.
――After the war, it was operated on P2V and F4U, but development was completed in 1953.
――This injection plastic kit comes with 2 ASM-2N and 2 dedicated trolleys.
-Each ASM-2N comes with two types of vertical stabilizers (early type and late type).
――When completed, the total length will be about 50 mm and the total width will be about 42 mm.
