Hasegawa 1/72 Japanese Mitsubushi G4M2E Betty Attack Bomber(E20) (00550)
In 1939 Mitsubishi introduced what became Japan's standard twin-engine bomber: the Betty. Mitsubishi provided the engines as well. The Betty could fly well over 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) without refueling, which again it achieved by eliminating armor and fire-resistant fuel tanks to save weight. The firm went on to build nearly 2,500 of them

(Japan)
Medium bomber. The Navy's requirement for a 3700km range with full bombload could only be achieved by designing the entire wing as a 5000l integral fuel tank and keeping the structure very light, without any armour. Hence the G4M became known as the 'one-shot lighter' to allied fighter pilots. It became notorious late in the war as the carrier aircraft for the Ohka suicide aircraft. 2446 built.
