1/144 Attacker Bomber Collection - F-Toys
A 'new' release from F-Toys, incorporating some WWII Japanese favourites with "new tooling" and strangely a  Korean War Era aircraft in US and French markings, resulting in a strange mix of aircraft.

Its not clear how this set is arrived at even by recent standards, why they didn't do a complete full house of Japanese items for the domestic market, or go for a more varied set of twin engined attacking aircraft/medium bombers we shall never know!?

  1. Th markings for the A-26s are for units that used the planes after their designation was changed to B-26 in 1948

  2. Nice surprise to discover 2 models
    of Mitsubishi KI67 Hiryu Peggy
    bomber, and one model of it's
    derived KI109 heavy interceptor.
    Bad news is 3 more identical Nell models, as previously released. Just imagine, instead, 3 variants of british Beaufighter...
