Minicraft Model Kit- Famous Aircraft Of World War Two: Mitsubishi G4M1 Betty (1:144 Scale)
 
Minicraft Models has re-released its largest of the Japanese aircraft models in its 1/144 scale range.  The model captures the cigar-shaped fuselage and the unique clipped, isosceles triangle flying surfaces of the original aircraft.
 
The Mitsubishi G4M Type 1 “Betty” was a medium bomber used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during WWII.  Like the Zero, its speed and ordnance-carrying capabilities were very good at the expense of crew protection.  A cigar-shape provided a roomy interior and provided a nickname, “flying cigar” for its crews.  Allied pilots referred to it as a “Zippo” for its ability to catch fire easily when hit by gunfire thanks to the lack of protection for the fuel tanks.
