New Arrival: ICM 1/48 Mitsubishi Ki-21-Ib “Type 97 Heavy Bomber – Sally”
A new and historically significant aircraft kit has just landed at Historia Emporium — the ICM 1/48 Mitsubishi Ki-21-Ib “Type 97 Heavy Bomber – Sally”. This is an excellent new-tool release representing one of the most important Japanese bombers of the early Pacific War.
About the Ki-21 “Sally”:
Introduced in the late 1930s, the Mitsubishi Ki-21 served as the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force’s primary heavy bomber throughout the early years of World War II. Known to Allied forces under the reporting name “Sally,” the Ki-21 flew in China, Southeast Asia, Burma, and the opening phases of the Pacific campaign.
The Ib variant refined defensive armament, structural details, and fuel capacity, making it better suited to long-range operations — a critical feature during Japan’s rapid early-war expansion.
About the ICM kit:
ICM continues to impress with its line of 1/48 Japanese aircraft, and the Ki-21 is no exception. This kit features finely recessed panel lines, a carefully detailed cockpit and bomb bay, realistic defensive weapon stations, and clear parts molded with excellent transparency.
Kit highlights:
- Highly detailed interior including cockpit, bomb bay, and crew stations
- Accurate exterior surface detail with crisp panel lines
- Optional parts for various configurations
- Clear parts for canopy and nose glazing
- Ideal centerpiece for any early-WWII or Pacific War collection
Purchase the Ki-21 “Sally” model kit here and bring one of Japan’s key early-war aircraft to your 1/48 scale lineup.
