Hello again!  This is my third article on ARC.  It is a Hasegawa kit representing a Japanese WWII bomber, the G4M1 "Betty".  The kit is of excellent overall quality with crisp detail and very good fit.  So, the amount of filler used was really small.  The whole cockpit and bomber's area were scratchbuilt, as was the nose hatch and the ladder, while I added all the necessary tubing in the landing gear wells and the engine compartments.  The model was painted with Humbrol enamels and very slightly weathered, since I wanted to represent a fairly new aircraft. 

I hope you like my "Betty"!

Gabriel
