The Flying Cigar
Due to its characteristic cylindrical fuselage, the G4M earned the nickname "Hamaki" (cigar) from Japanese crews. The aircraft bore the brunt of Japanese bombing operations from the first days of the Pacific War. Although its long range allowed it to attack targets at vast distances, the lack of self-sealing tanks made it an easy target for Allied fighters. Nevertheless, the G4M remains one of the most important and famous Japanese aircraft of the entire conflict.

Models in 1/144 scale represent an ideal compromise for collectors who want to include larger multi-engine machines in their display cases but struggle with a lack of space.
