Thank you for taking the time and patience in building this fantastic model. Did the kit come with Brickarm weapons? What printed parts were contained within the cockpit and other internal parts of the aircraft? Thank you again for your video.
Thank you! The kit came with two brickarms machine gun barrels for the two brick-build waist gunner positions - there’s an alternative display where you can open the bubbles up and have the two machine guns visible. The cockpit features two printed bricks for the instrument panel - which are gorgeous, it’s a shame you never get to see them. ~ Jack
They have done Zeros and other Japanese planes, but like this one, availability is always an issue. 1/32 scale is what it comes out to, yes. Take a look at the Zero kit by Cobi - that’s a good place to start!
only reason the G4M Betty sank Prince of Wales and Repulse was because the British did not have a carrier with there at the time of the attack and realistically the only reason they got Prince of Wales was because of a lucky shot and Repulse because they caught her in a pincer attack
Agree completely, but of course the shock is the old school (i.e., no air cover) manner in which they were deployed. We love those ships, and organic air cover defeats those Bettys! But their loss all but completes the difficult transition from the battleship to the aircraft carrier as the dominant weapon system. As always, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Keep them coming!
@@BearingStraight Yeah I would point out that the IJAAF should not had as much luck as they did Prince of Wales had a DP Battery of 16 5.25"/50-calibre DP Gun, Medium AA of 48 40mm QF 2-Pdr Mark 8 Pom-Pom AA Gun and Light: 7 20mm Oerlikon Mark 4 AA Gun while Repulse had a Heavy AA: 6 QF 4"/45-cal Mark 5 AA Gun, Medium AA: 16 40mm QF 2-Pdr Mark 6 Pom-Pom AA Gun, Light AA: 8 20mm Oerlikon Mark 4 AA Guns and 8 12.7mm Vickers.50-calibre Mark 3 AA Machine Guns The Prince of Wales’s Dual-Purpose Battery was nothing to slouch at, her 5.25-inch guns slaughtered Italian torpedo-bombers and according to the DNC, PoW‘s AA Defences should have slaughtered the IJAAF planes before they got their Type 91 torpedoes launched had it not been for the poor crew training and her Type 271 Surface-Search Radar being knocked out by the weather, the IJAAF attack would likely have failed and what was the next battleship sunk at solely by aircraft?
Would love to see more Brickmania reviews like this! 😁
Great video! Wish to see more Lego WWII vehicles reviews)

@@BearingStraight Thanks for your reply. Sounds very nice. Appreciate very much. Cheers 🍻
I feel a sudden urge to replay Bomber Crew
Legos and history?? Now you got my attention 😂
Hello! I would like to know if you are selling the instructions
Do they have zeroes or other Japanese planes? Also what scale would the is plane be? 1/32?
