Ki-21-Ib Sally - Japanese Heavy Bomber

The ICM Ki-21-Ib ‘Sally’ 1:48 scale plastic model kit captures Mitsubishi’s early-war Japanese heavy bomber with accurate geometry and refined surface detail. The Ki-21 first flew on 18 December 1936, entered series production in spring 1938, and was built by both Nakajima and Mitsubishi with subtle nose variations. The Ib variant, developed from combat experience over China, featured enhanced small arms and a distinctive tail gun position. These aircraft saw action in the Sino-Japanese War and early World War II before later service in training units and as transports.

This ICM release (part HC-ICM48195) is the brand’s first 1:48 kit of the Ki-21, offering precise moulding, detailed fuselage skin reproduction and a well-appointed bomb bay. The kit provides various defensive machine guns, four bombs, and decal options for four historically themed markings, supported by clear assembly instructions.
