I seem to recall reading that it was a Grace that inflicted so much damage on the Franklin. I dn't know for sure that it was the Franklin, but pretty sure that one of our Essex class CV's was hit by a Grace and it caused a tremendous amount of damage.

Not that I would celebrate that event, just to indicate that this is a historically significant airplane, regardless of the small numbers that were produced, and deserves to be in the game. Thank you Ten010

Hello.
B7A is taking pains for there to be few data and make a model.  :(
Do you know the site which is consulted?
If a picture is searched with Google, many same photographs will come out.

There are also many photos of Grace's interior in the book: 'Japanese Aircraft Interiors 1940-1945' Robert C. Mikesh
Thank you for introducing the site which is consulted.  :)
My question is mainly in the form of a wing.
If it is a drawing, it can check that there are two kinds.
If it can do, I would like to check with a photograph.
It is not opened to the public although it seems that NASM and Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center have the system. 
PS -- in many cases, I buy a plastic kit, when making 3D model.
There are many kits which are not made from favor.  :(

It seems that differences in the shape of the wings are the differences between versions of B7A1 and B7A2:

Bomb bay doors are split, like the TBF Avenger??

Well I think that vesion 2 looks like it is made by someone who knows what the aircraft looks like.  Version one looks also doubtable from the engeneering perspective. The wing as a whole looks unnatural. In addition to that the whole blueprint is somehow distorted. Photos indicate also that version 2 is correct

Thank you for carrying out information dissemination.
However, I have strayed increasingly.
Although B7A1 has an opinion of a mass-produced type in B7A2 with a prototype, it is wrong.
B7A1 is a mass-produced type.
B7A2 is the model for which the engine type was exchanged.
The plastic kit is carrying out the wrong notation and the form of a wing is close to Version one.
The photograph which Butbomb offered is a prototype.

I think that baydoor probably opens like TBF Avenger.
