Plastic model kit REVELL Ki-21-LA Sally 1/72 scale — assembly aircraft model

REVELL Ki-21-LA "Sally" 1/72 scale plastic model kit is an assembly aircraft model that recreates the twin-engine WWII bomber in compact scale. The kit contains pre-moulded plastic parts designed for glue and paint assembly, enabling hobbyists to build a detailed miniature suitable for display, practice or inclusion in dioramas and historical model collections.

Advantages

The kit provides accurately moulded components in 1/72 scale that allow for a faithful external representation of the Ki-21-LA airframe and major surface details. Parts are arranged on sprues for straightforward removal and cleaning, supporting both beginner and intermediate model builders. The compact scale keeps display size manageable while preserving recognizable shape and proportions, and the plastic construction gives options for painting and weathering to match reference schemes.

Suitable for

• Scale model hobbyists seeking a WWII twin-engine bomber project
• Collectors who add finished aircraft models to historical displays
• Model-building practice for painting, gluing and weathering techniques
• Diorama builders incorporating mid-20th-century airfields or wartime scenes

Key specifications

• Scale: 1/72
• Material: injection-moulded polystyrene plastic
• Model type: twin-engine bomber assembly kit
• Number of sprues: multiple pre-moulded sprues with fuselage, wings and smaller detail parts
• Finish: requires painting and finishing for display-level appearance

How to use

Carefully remove parts from the sprues using cutters or a hobby knife, clean moulding seams and fit parts dry before applying model glue. Assemble major subassemblies such as fuselage halves, wings and tail, then attach engines, landing gear and smaller detail components. Apply primer and paint after assembly or paint selected parts before final assembly according to your chosen colour scheme. Decals, if provided, should be applied to a smooth, glossy surface and sealed with a varnish for protection.

Usage recommendations

Use fine-grit sandpaper or a needle file for seam cleanup, standard plastic model cement for durable joins, and model-specific paints for historically accurate finishes. Work in a well-ventilated area and allow adequate drying time between glue and paint steps to achieve a clean, long-lasting result.
