My Japanese saga continues and I think it has moved into its second half.
Next up is the famous Hamaki, the Mitsubishi G4M bomber.
Specifically:
- Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 3. Chutai, Kanoya Kōkūtai, sinking of Force Z near Malaya, Saigon AB, 10.12.1941)
- Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 1. Chutai, Takao Kōkūtai, Rabaul AB, New Britain, Autumn 1942)
- Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 705 Kōkūtai, Rabaul AB, New Britain, Admiral Yamamoto's transport plane, April 1943)
- Mitsubishi G4M2 Model 22 (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 761. Kōkūtai, Peleliu AB, Palau Islands, May 1944)
- Mitsubishi G4M2 Model 22 (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 763. Kōkūtai, Lingayen AB, Phillipines, January 1945)
- Mitsubishi G4M2e Model 24 Tei with Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka Model 11 (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 721. Kōkūtai, 711. Kogeki Chutai, Kanoya AB, Japan, April 1945)
- Mitsubishi G6M1-L (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 202. Kokutai, East Indies, Summer 1943)
- Mitsubishi G6M1-L (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, Rengō Kantai Shirei-bu, Tokyo-Haneda AB, Japan, late 1943).
The models have added on-board guns, antennas and, in the case of later models, radar antennas.
Model No. 681 can be built in the classic configuration or with the bomb bay doors removed and the Type 91 torpedo, the configuration from the battle with the Force Z (alternative parts are included).
Model No. 682 shows the aircraft with heavily damaged camouflage (inspired by the actual aircraft of this unit).
Model No. 688 is also with open bomb bay and is equipped with the Ohka suicide bomber.
I hope you like the models :-)
