The Mitsubishi Ki-21 “Sally” was designed in 1936 and first flew in 1938, it was used extensively in the war against China and was a trainer for bomber groups.
This subject has been neglected in the model world but ICM has brought out a nice representation in 1/48th scale.
Included in the kit is:
- Six grey sprues
- One clear sprue
- One grey sprue with figures
- One set of decals
- One instruction booklet
- One instruction page for the figures
The instructions are pretty straight forward and the kit seems well detailed with fine panel lines and some rivet detail.
Section 1-7 starts with the left fuselage half with detail items and a bulkhead going in. there are also oxygen bottles and some clear parts added. The left tail section is also added in this section. I decided to glue both halves of the tail together at this point and added the tail at a later point.
