This 1/72 scale plastic kit depicts the Mitsubishi G3M3 Type 96 Attack Bomber Model 23 and is offered within Hasegawa's aircraft line for scale modellers and collectors.
The Mitsubishi G3M, often called the Type 96 by the Imperial Japanese Navy, was a twin-engine land-based bomber developed in the 1930s for long-range patrol and strike duties. It operated during the early Pacific campaigns and was employed in bomber and reconnaissance roles where range was important.
At 1/72 scale the kit captures the external profile of the Model 23. Builders should note wing-to-fuselage fit, the treatment of clear cockpit components, and decal placement for unit markings. Using period reference photos will help determine appropriate paint tones and weathering approaches.
A compact, accurate 1/72 subject that offers opportunities for detailing and realistic finishing for dedicated modellers and collectors.
