1/72 BETTY 24 TEI with OHKA II Bomb by HASEGAWA 00550 (E20) HAS-00550

Hasegawa HAS-00550 (E20) 1/72 Mitsubishi G4M2E Betty Model 24 Tei  w/ MXY7 OHKA Model 11 

Mitsubishi G4M2E was designed as a successor to the 96 type land attack aircraft, and the first flight of the first prototype was carried out on October 23, 1945.

The Navy's demands at that time were harsh, with a maximum cruising range of 4,185km under reconnaissance overload and a maximum cruising range of 3,704km under attack overload with a bomb or torpedo load of 800kg. An integral tank has been adopted, in which a part of the main wing structure is made oil-tight and the structure is used as it is, and a large amount of fuel is loaded in the main wing.

The thick cigar-shaped fuselage, which is also a feature, has a bomb bay installed inside the fuselage, and the resistance is sufficiently reduced from the aerodynamic point of view. The original and outstanding design makes it a machine that exceeds the military requirements. have become.

The total number of each model produced was about 2,400.

A number of Betty had the bomb bay removed and it is possible to mount one Sakurahana 11 type aircraft in the center. Since bulletproof steel plates are installed in the cockpit, fuel tank, etc., the total weight increase significantly when Sakurahana is mounted increases, and flight performance deteriorates. In many cases, they were shot down before the launch of the Sakuraka, and they couldn't play a role as Sakuraka's mother machine.
