The ARII 1/72 Mitsubishi KI-46.  All versions appear have all the parts to build all the glazing variations.  They also have enough flash to photograph a wedding.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

LOVE it, very descriptive!  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

Funnily enough, the other day I said a kit, "had so much flash that it'd make you shout, 'Gordon's Alive!' at it..."

Interesting, I built one of the original LS Models release about 1980 and it was very crisp
without any flash.

I'm sure they were then.  ARII, or whoever is repopping  the LS kits, has paid no attention to the moulds.  They are exceptionally cheap but is it worth it?  I have a Judy and a Rufe where almost the entire sprue frame is filled with flash.
So, as is often the case (eg. Airfix Rotodynes, AMT Chevy Vans, Monogram '53 Chevies etc), if you want one get the oldest one you can find.
