The Aichi B5A ( Allied reporting name "Vichy") was the standard carrier-based torpedo bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) for much of World War II.
A fictional that matter
The torpedo mounted on this plane is called "Oxygen Torpedo",which is significantly soluble in water, and water vapor, thus greatly reducing tell-tale bubble trails.

@YAMADA034290
maybe add the fictional tag then. it’ll avoid confusion
B5N means “Nakajima” made. This is a not fictional.
B5A means “Aichi” made. This is plane a fictional I imagined.

Very nice replica . A Great fine job .
Didn’t know that either.@AnoniMosu
B5N’s 250kg and 800kg are also mounted asymmetrically @AerialFighterSnakes
Ahh ok. Did not know that.@YAMADA034290
Kate, the Japanese Navy's attacker, was also torpedo mounted asymmetrically.
@AerialFighterSnakes
Because there is the bombsight in the center.
If there is the torpedo in the center,you can’t Aiming.
...Maybe ;)))
@AerialFighterSnakes
Why is the torpedo mounted asymmetrically?
