1/48 Ohka MXY7 and carrier (Mitsubishi G4M2a or Yokosuka P1Y3)
Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2020 2:50 pm
Good morning,
A friend offer me few days ago the model : "Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka Model 22" at 1/48 from Brengun.
Presently I am in my documentation search.
I read that that "human bomb" was carried near target by a Mitsubishi G4M2a or Yokosuka P1Y3
Therefore together with this Okha I would like to assemble and paint this mothership, sadly i only find this Mitsubishi bomber as a G4M1 1/48 from Tamiya.
I read on the net it was differences between the G4M1 and the G4M2a, so i would have modifications on this G4M1 from Tamiya (or other 1/48 from other brand, the ideal would be to find an 1/48 Mitsubishi G4M2a)
Concerning the Yokosuka P1Y3, maybe I overlooked but I did not found any 1/48 of this model
If a fellows have information, documentation about the modification I have to do, I will be really happy.
The next step will be to highlight the modification to be done to make the G4M2a or the P1Y3 as carrier for the Okha.
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Philippe
