Gun sight Type 98, Japan - 3 pcs. in three different sight variants for Japanese pre- and WWII planes.
Art Scale Kit Distribution s.r.o. presents its latest accessory: the Japanese 1/48 gun sight Type 98 in three different sight variants.
The Japanese Type 98 was a reflector-style gun sight used on many Imperial Japanese Navy and Army aircraft during World War II, including the A6M Zero.
Instead of a simple ring and bead, it used a collimator lens to project a reticle (a aiming pattern, often a crosshair) onto a transparent glass screen. This allowed the pilot to see the aiming point and the target at the same time, without needing to focus their eyes back and forth. This design made aiming faster and more accurate, especially in a dogfight.
The Type 98 reflector gunsight was a standard piece of equipment used by both the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army Air Forces. It was fitted to a variety of their frontline fighter aircraft during World War II.
Some of the most notable aircraft that used the Type 98 sight include:
Mitsubishi A6M "Zero": This was the most famous Japanese fighter of the war, and the Type 98 was a key component of its cockpit.
Nakajima Ki-44 "Tojo": This Army fighter, designed as an interceptor, also used the Type 98 sight.
Kawasaki Ki-61 "Tony": The Ki-61, Japan's only mass-produced liquid-cooled engine fighter, was also equipped with this reflector sight.
Kawasaki Ki-45 "Nick": The Type 98 was used on this twin-engine heavy fighter and night fighter.
The Type 98 was essentially a copy of the German Revi sight, which was known for its effectiveness in air-to-air combat. Its use across different aircraft types highlights its importance as a standard piece of technology for Japanese fighter planes of the era.

Key Product Features:
Authenticity and Precision: The model is created using advanced 3D engineering, which faithfully reproduces the complex details and mechanics of the real bombsight. This makes the accessory significantly more accurate than the parts typically included in standard kits.
Ultra-Precise 3D Printing: The latest 3D printing technology is used for production, ensuring unparalleled quality. The resulting parts are crisp, have a perfectly smooth surface, and capture even the smallest details.
Versatile Use: The gun sight Type 98 was used in numerous Japanese Navy and Army Air Forces. This accessory is thus ideal for upgrading any of these 1/48 scale models.
Easy Installation: Thanks to its precise design, this part can be easily integrated into most model kits, saving time and effort on modifications.
This 3D-printed gun sight Type 98 is an essential addition for any modeler who wants to achieve maximum realism and authenticity in their models.
