Real version

1/48 scale desk model

The Mitsubishi G3M is a medium bomber used during WWII. It functioned both as a ground bomber and a torpedo bomber in the early years of the war, but was soon replaced by the G4M and others. This model kit is based on the one above, with less details to simplify the process and to be somewhat merciful to potato users.

Instructions:

1st, disconnect the frame from the parts. Next, move the front block of the plane (below) to the coordinates (0,4,8). The +/- indicates that this part is symmetrical. Rotate/nudge to your best judgement.

Now I will give a list of coordinates and rotation degrees corresponding with the position of every subassembly, along with pictures showing what block to connect to the fuselage.

1. Wings (you may mirror them, but the ailerons will be inverted.)

Nudge this block to the coordinates (+/-0.5688, 4.0792, 3.5694) with an x rotation of -4.072 degrees.

2. Vertical Stabilizers (check connections carefully)

Nudge to the coordinates (+/-1.8872, 4.0871, 6.2390)

3. Engines

Nudge to coordinates (+/-2.6252, 4.0464, 4.9200) with a y rotation of +/- 4.512 degrees

Landing Gear

Main gear:

Nudge rotator to coordinates (+/-2.2995, 4.0464, 2.5719) with an x rotation of 75 degrees, and nudge wheels to (+/-2.4218, 2.3295, 3.0319).

Tail gear:

Nudge block to coordinates (0, 3.5495, -5.1969) with an x rotation of 57 degrees.

Glass

Cockpit:

Nudge block to coordinates (0, 4.7508, 4.7875).

Top window thing:

Nudge block to coordinates (0, 4.9828, 2.2055).

Antennas

Forward antenna (bottom)

Nudge block to (0, 3.1788, 7.4183)

Forward antenna (top)

Nudge block to (0, 5.1000, 3.4379)

Rear antenna:

Nudge block to (-0.1250, 3.5249, -4.7488) with an x rotation of 90 degrees.

Boom! You're done!

Now on to the decals and paint

Wing roundels (top):

Nudge bottom block to (+/- 8.3881, 4.7061, 2.3087), x rotation of 87. 278 degrees.

Wing roundels (bottom):

Nudge bottom block to (+/-8.3991, 4.5502, 2.3087) with an x rotation of -84. 580 degrees.

Side roundels:

Nudge the block that’s connected to the bottom to (+/-0.6059, 4.1544, -3.1500) with a y rotation of -86.191 (right), and 86.191 (left). X rotation should be -83.289 degrees.

Paint hex codes (right to left, top to bottom on the palette):

You’re done! Happy flying!

If you failed miserably, you can always just download the flying one.
