Hi Folks, After 3 months of a very enjoyable time with this classic Tamiya kit from the 90's I can call her 'Ready For Inspection'. I riveted the whole kit and bought some masking for the canopies (Montex) as they were plenty of glass sections on the legendary Japanese medium bomber. Also, I added some 7.7 Lewis Machine Guns from Accurate Miniatures as the ones coming with the kit were pretty rough and oversized. Three crewmen (2 pilots, one rear gunner) added too. Hinomarus painted. Didn't find any big issue, except from some warping on the old plastic fuselage, but nothing that a fair amount of glue can't handle. As I used the torpedo in my previous Hasegawa Kate my decision went for a 1943 Misawa Naval Fighter Group 3rd Squadron based on Rabaul, armed with 12-50 lbs bombs. She is a big girl! Biggest kit I've ever build, need to buy a big box to store her. All the best from Santiago, keep modelling and enjoying the process! Cris- 10 replies

Hi, After Mitsubishi Ki-21 Sally and Nakajima Ki-49 Helen, which I posted some week ago, I would like to show two other heavy Japaneese bombers, both are Mitsubishi: G4M1 in allies code "Betty" and Ki-67 Hiryu ("Peggy"). First is from old Hasegawa mould and second from LS. Both are very archive, Betty I made just after returning to hobby in 1992 and Peggy I made still in the schooldays, about 1977. This LS kit has movable flaps and even you may rectract the u/c... Markings of Betty are from 705 Kokutai, JNAF - New Guinea July 1943 (Rabaul) and Peggy is 3 Kokutai, 14 Sentai JAAF, 1945. Betty: And Ki-67 - "Peggy": Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek
