ICM 1:48 Ki-21-Ib Sally Model Kit HC-ICM48197

The ICM Ki-21-Ib Sally with Japanese Pilots and Ground Personnel, part number HC-ICM48197, is a 1:48 plastic model kit of the Japanese Ki-21-Ib bomber, known to Allied forces as “Sally”. The kit combines the aircraft with figures representing its aircrew and ground personnel, creating a model centred on the bomber and the people involved in its operation.

The Ki-21 was developed for the Army Aviation of the Imperial Japanese Army, supporting ground operations and engaging enemy aircraft during World War II. Its first prototype flew on 18 December 1936, followed by flight testing during the following year. Mass production began in spring 1938, with the aircraft produced by both Nakajima and Mitsubishi.

Kit Features

The aircraft model reproduces the geometry of the Ki-21-Ib and includes detail on the external skin of the fuselage. The set contains three pilot figures and two technical personnel figures. Pilot uniform details reflect the clothing used for bomber missions, while the ground personnel represent the simplified uniforms and overalls used by technical crews. Four decal options are provided for different markings.
