My second contribution to the GB. It is the nice Mitsubishi bomber from ICM in Thai markings during WWII. Parts are already removed from the sprues on this one. /Nanond

Hello! I present here my recently finished ICM 1/72 Ki-21-Ib in the markings of 58th air group operated in China. There is not much to choose from when it comes to the camouflage scheme of this bomber in China front, especially early in the war. Actually, there were examples that operated without any markings at all. In my opinion, this plain colour scheme helps highlight the beautiful, clean design of this bomber. Ki21 is without a doubt a long-awaited Japanese bomber in any scale, and ICM surely filled that need with this high quality kit. One area I believe ICM made an error is the undercarriage. Although it is intricately designed, you should watch out for the right undercarriage. The parts and attachment points on both the left and right undercarriage are the same. However, the attachment point on the wings seems to call for the undercarriage to be mirrored (even the drawing for step 52 seems to suggest that the parts are mirrored, not an exact copy). The fix is not difficult if you plan it during assembly. Other than this minor point, it is a pleasure to build this model. Cheers! Nanond The interior is also well-detailed. The markings are all painted on. Only the stencil decals are used.
