Ki-21-Ia ‘Sally’ Japanese Heavy Bomber 1:48 ICM 48196 Plastic Model Airplane Kit

Mitsubishi Ki-21-Ia “Sally” is a 1/48 scale plastic aircraft model kit from ICM representing the Japanese twin-engine heavy bomber used during the early and middle stages of World War II. Known by the Allied reporting name “Sally,” the aircraft served with Imperial Japanese Army Air Force units across several operational theaters. The kit is supplied as an unpainted and unassembled plastic model.

The Ki-21 was developed by Mitsubishi in the late 1930s as a long-range bomber capable of supporting Japanese military operations over large distances. Entering service before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the aircraft was used in campaigns in China and later across Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. The Ki-21-Ia represents one of the early production versions of this bomber family.

Mitsubishi Ki-21-Ia “Sally” – World War II Japanese Heavy Bomber

The Ki-21 bomber featured a twin-engine configuration, defensive machine-gun positions, and a large internal bomb bay typical of medium and heavy bombers of the period. Early versions such as the Ki-21-Ia played an important role in Japanese Army aviation operations during the opening years of World War II.

For modelers: Twin-engine aircraft kits benefit from careful planning of subassemblies. Completing the cockpit, bomb bay, and interior structures before closing the fuselage halves helps maintain detail visibility during the build.
