Mitsubishi G3M

A procedural model built in Blender from the type’s published dimensions, painted as Mitsubishi G3M2 Model 22 ‘Nell’ G-336 of the Genzan Kokutai, the Imperial Japanese Navy air group based at Wonsan in Korea whose G3M2s took part in sinking HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse off Malaya on 10 December 1941, as photographed from above in about 1941: a land-based twin-engined long-range bomber with two Mitsubishi Kinsei fourteen-cylinder radials driving three-bladed propellers, a glazed nose and cockpit, a large glazed 20 mm gun blister on the spine, slim gun blisters on each side of the rear fuselage, a wing spanning 25 m and twin fins and rudders, shown tail down on its wheels: plain dark green upper surfaces and fuselage sides, grey-green undersides, blue-black cowlings, brown propellers, white-edged hinomaru on the fuselage and upper wings, two white bands round the rear fuselage and ‘G-336’ in white on the fins below two white bands; the photograph is black and white, so the colours are the documented 1941 Navy bomber finish, and the under-wing hinomaru and port side, which it does not show, follow standard practice (shape from a G3M three-view scaled to the published span and length, checked against a second plan view and photographs).
