    Battle damaged Mitsubishi G4M1 'Betty' in a 1/48 dio

    Hi all!
    My latest dio project started on 23rd October 2009, exactly 68 years after the Betty's maiden flight..The kit I used was the nice Tamiya one while some other accessories were purchased too..





    This profile found in Osamu Tagaya-san's book 'Betty units of ww2', immediately caught my attention and took me no more than a couple of days to make my decision to build it as I liked its weathered look..At this point I should mention it was my first attempt with Japanese planes and as you can see in my signature surely not the last one!!


    I'll be right back,
    Panagiotis.

    I had loads of good photos from the Internet so I decided to treat the interior of fuselage with added detail:





    That's all for now.You can ask me everything you like.
    Thanks for your time!
    Cheers,Panagiotis.
