A kit of the Japanese twin-engined naval bomber Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 in 1:48 scale. The model is meant to be assembled and painted.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Mitsubishi G4M was a Japanese twin-engined bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service, known to the Allies under the code name Betty. It was built for operations over the open sea, where great range was what was expected of it above all, and the cigar-shaped fuselage with its glazed nose and a defensive position in the tail reflected that. Power came from a pair of radial engines. There was a price for the range and speed, though: the tanks were not protected as they were on later types, and a machine that was hit therefore caught fire easily. Model 11 is the first production version, which the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service put into service in the opening phase of the war in the Pacific.
It is a kit to be assembled and painted. In 1:48 scale the finished model comes out at roughly fifty-two centimeters in span and forty-two centimeters in length, so it is a large piece that needs matching space. The number of parts, the extent of the glazing and the choice of marking options are given in the manufacturer's instructions.
With this much glazing, the build turns very much on cleanliness: hold the clear parts by the edges, glue them with a cement intended for clear parts and mask the frames before spraying. Finish the inside of the fuselage and the gunners' positions before you close the fuselage up. Remove excess material and production marks from the parts, sand the mating surfaces and dry-fit the assembly. Wash and degrease the surface before painting.
The set will please modelers of Japanese Second World War equipment and anyone fond of large twin-engined machines. Paints, glue, thinner and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
