The Mitsubishi Ki-21-Ib "Sally" constitutes the improved and most-produced variant of the famous Imperial Japanese Air Force medium bomber. Direct evolution of the -Ia version, this variant introduced upgraded Nakajima Ha-5 KAI Mod.2 engines, greater fuel capacity and reinforced defensive armament. It operated intensively in all Pacific campaigns from 1940 to 1945, representing the backbone of Japanese heavy bombing units for most of the conflict.

The ICM kit in 1/48 scale represents the new standard for reproducing this iconic Japanese bomber with latest generation details: structural panels engraved with photographic precision, richly detailed cockpit with all operational positions, perfect transparencies for the characteristic extensive glazing, complete bomb bay and decals for authentic historical versions. Advanced engineering combining absolute accuracy and intuitive assembly for Imperial Japanese aviation collectors.

Glue and paints not included in the kit.

The Ki-21-Ib "Sally" represented the main Japanese tactical bomber in the initial phases of the Pacific War, operating in Malaya, Philippines, Burma and Dutch East Indies. The -Ib variant introduced an improved dorsal turret and greater range, significantly extending operational capabilities compared to the previous version.
