Takara/Revell Mitsubishi Ki-21-II

[Mark Newton]

I recently bought a new ICM Ki-21 in 1/72 scale, so I thought it would be interesting to build this 1980 release from Takara/Revell for comparison. Originally released in 1975, the T/R kit has some very nice recessed surface detail, including a multitude of rivets. A trial fit of the major components this evening suggests that the fit will be reasonably good. Apart from a pair of resin wheels from Kora, and some decals from Rising, it'll be out of the box. I don't intend to provide any extra interior detail, as I doubt it will be visible.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

This is one of the few masterpiecies from the short-lived Revell Japan toolings.
I won't be surprised if it turns out better than the ICM one... (definitely nicer than the MPM ones)
