Agreed, but I can´t start with 1/72 now.I even do not have enough display place for all of my 1:48>>

Lighten up, Frances, maybe you'll be issued in aluminum. The Ginga would make for a great diecast, and would be a real education on planform... I have no idea what one looks like from the top, I've only seen the side from the few rare photos.

This is the best I could find of the upper surface of this one. Some more nice shots of this one at this site: Rod's WarBirds

Nice! Those powerplants alone are very cool.

Yes, I think a Betty is long overdue; however, I believe it will be at least a year or two before we see one in 1/72nd scale. Right now, with the exception of the Bf-110, Hobby Master is concentrating on single-engine aircraft. After the Kate, we'll probably see a Val, then possibly a MC-202 or a Russian fighter. In 1/48th scale, Marushin put one out so I don't think that Franklin Mint will make one; besides, the only non-American bomber they are producing is the He-111.

No joke, some beefy engines on this aircraft.

GROAN,

another must have aeroplane, now where would I fit that one into the collection. (1/72 please).
Its good to see HM bringing out more Japanese planes, there is shortage of good Japanese stuff.

IXO Japanese planes are not that bad but HM will be sooo much better.
