1/72 Mitsubishi G3M3 Type 96 (Nell) Model 23 Plastic Kit Hasegawa 02525  [HA-02525]

Overview and modelling notes for Hasegawa 02525 G3M3 Model 23 - 1/72

This is a 1/72 scale plastic model kit representing the Mitsubishi G3M3 Type 96 Attack Bomber Model 23, released as part of Hasegawa's aircraft series for scale modellers and collectors.

The Mitsubishi G3M, designated Type 96 by the Imperial Japanese Navy, was a twin-engine, land-based bomber developed in the 1930s for extended patrol and strike roles. It served through the early stages of the Pacific conflict and was used in both bombing and reconnaissance duties.

The kit reproduces the external outline of the Model 23 at 1/72 scale. Builders commonly focus on wing-to-fuselage alignment, careful treatment of clear cockpit glazing, and precise decal placement. Use photographic references to match paint tones and to plan weathering for a convincing finish.

A compact and accurate 1/72 subject that rewards careful finishing and weathering to produce a standout display model for experienced modellers and collectors.
