The prototype flight took place in May 1941, and a year later the machine entered mass production. The most famous version of the J1N is the J1N1-S model with the J1N2 and J1N3 versions, which serves as a night fighter. The machines of this version were armed with 4 20mm cannons firing at an angle, in an arrangement modelled on the German \"Schräge Musik\". Production of this version began in the spring of 1943. From 1944, J1N1-S planes were equipped with boards capable of observing the water surface (Type 3 Mk 6 Model 4), and shortly thereafter also radar enabling observation of the airspace (FD-1 and FD-2). From mid-1944, the J1N was used as a day and night fighter against Allied bomber formations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnical data (version J1N1): length: 12.18m, wingspan: 16.98m, height: 4.56m, maximum speed: 507km\/h, climb speed: 8.7m\/s, maximum range: 2540km, armament: fixed -4 cannons Type 99 cal. 20mm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-09-16T09:54:45+02:00","created_at":"2025-03-26T15:20:31+02:00","vendor":"Hobby 2000","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Hobby 2000","Category_Aircraft","Scale_1\/72 Scale","Type_Propeller Aircraft"],"price":43995,"price_min":43995,"price_max":43995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47036618801403,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"5903002057537","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Hobby 2000 - 1\/72 Nakajima J1N1-S \"GEKKO\" Early","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":43995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Hobby-2000---1-72-Nakajima-J1N1-S--GEKKO--Early.jpg?v=1742995233"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Hobby-2000---1-72-Nakajima-J1N1-S--GEKKO--Early.jpg?v=1742995233","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":38462004625659,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"width":800,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Hobby-2000---1-72-Nakajima-J1N1-S--GEKKO--Early.jpg?v=1742995233"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Hobby-2000---1-72-Nakajima-J1N1-S--GEKKO--Early.jpg?v=1742995233","width":800}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e1\/72 Nakajima J1N1-S \"GEKKO\" Early\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHobby 2000 72053\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcludes all glues, paints and tools necessary to assemble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Nakajima J1N Gekko (Japanese moonlight) is a Japanese twin-engine heavy reconnaissance aircraft, as well as an escort and night fighter with a metal, half-shell structure in a low wing structure from the Second World War.
