Thanks for the info,i will be happy to have one on my bench.
ICM has announced a Ki-21 Sally in 1/72 AND 1/48 for 2022. Personally not my cup of tea, but no doubt it will make some very happy. Perhaps they will do a 1/48 Nell later on. AFAIK Koster's vac-form is the only 1/48 kit out there.
“Ya ya ya, unicorn papoi!”
AZ models did the Ki-48 Lily in 1/48, be sure to get the second release with the improved nose parts. Looks good in the box. But why there is not a Nell in 1/48 from Hasegawa or Tamiya seems odd to me.

Just got an Aichi B7A2 (Grace) from Hasegawa in 1/48 as a Secret Santa GB gift. Late war single engine gull wing attack bomber/torpedo aircraft. Never saw carrier duty, as by then most all the remaining carriers were non-operational.
Can always do a ceiling hanger
Wingspan given as 103', length 72'.
By my figuring, 25 3/4" span, 18" long
MPM did the He177 Greif in 1/48. I built it maybe a year ago. Decent kit.
I concur that it would be great to have more Axis multi engine bombers like the Nell.
GMorrison not a bomber, but tamiya kitted a really nice Gekko in 1/48.

Another non bomber twin engine is the Tamiya Hyakushiki Shitei, and Nichimo Nick both in 1/48.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
seastallion53 yes, I've built both versions of the gecko and there are many models of 1/48 german multi engine a/c made.

Yes, all the main German multi engine bombers are covered in 1/48 aside from perhaps the He-177. And the Brits are being well covered as well, although not quite as thoroughly as the US and Germans. The Italians are like the Japanese in mainstream injection molded 1/48 kits though. I don't think that there is anything beyond the SM.79 available currently.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Twin and three engine bombers were the overwhelming majority of types in WW2.
There's a fixation on the fours, seems to dominate the hobby market in the Revell/ Airfix catalogs.
1/48 is a largish scale for multi engines. 1/48 he-111, 1/48 sm79?

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I'm just waiting for a 1/72 Tamiya SLUF...
On the Bench: Too Much
Any multi engine bomber.
gregbale You didn't specify which bomber you had in mind, but other Japanese companies -- Fujimi, Hasegawa and (I think) Nitto -- have also done some, including Bettys and some of the carrier-borne types.

Not in 1/48. The only twin engine injection molded bomber kit out there is Tamiya's Betty. Any other attack/bomber type kits in 1/48 are all single engine.

seastallion53 Why is it that Tamiya makes the only 1/48 injection molded japanese bomber?

It would be nice if the selection expanded. I'd love to get a 1/48 Nell and Peggy. A Sally, Helen, and some of the other IJA bombers would be nice too.
