Hasegawa E20 G4M2E Type 1 Betty w/Ohka (1/72) – plastic model kit

The Hasegawa E20 G4M2E Type 1 Betty w/Ohka 1/72 scale plastic aircraft model is a precisely crafted model kit representing the Japanese medium-range bomber Mitsubishi G4M2E “Betty” along with the prototype Ohka attack aircraft. This set allows you to recreate one of the most fascinating designs of Japanese aviation from World War II.

The Mitsubishi G4M, known by the Allied code name “Betty”, entered service with the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1941 and was intensively used until the end of World War II. It was characterized by its long range and large bomb capacity, but became infamous for its lack of armor and vulnerability to enemy fire. The “Betty” became especially well known for torpedo attacks and for participating in kamikaze missions during the final phase of the conflict. The distinctive G4M2E version was adapted to carry the Ohka aircraft—a specialized, pilot-guided kamikaze flying bomb that posed a real threat to Allied ships during the siege of Okinawa in 1945.

The Hasegawa G4M2E Type 1 Betty with Ohka model is made from high-quality plastic and stands out for its outstanding attention to detail, such as the characteristic fuselage shape, detailed Ohka bomb mount, and realistically reproduced crew cabin interior. The kit includes decals enabling you to recreate the original markings of Imperial Japanese Navy units. Glue and paints are not included—these accessories must be purchased separately.
