I have most of that and appreciate your posting it, don't know either how much is the same, the G4M3 had an entirely different glass panelled nose so I suspect the internal arrangement is probably different by a fair degree......maybe?
Done a bit extra in the back so will post that tomorrow.

For the 20th Feb mission the aircraft carried 2 x 250kg Bombs, not in the kit, will grab them from one of my B5N2 kits.
The kit has a torpedo or a 12 x 60kg bomb load as standard.

According to the books that I have and I have been able to see the side gunner's windows are those of the g4m2, since it is in the part of the machine gun divided in three parts the fixed extermes and the center part that was the one that opened or that could translate With the translation program, Japanese writing is very complicated to understand for me a total disaster for the languages that almost nor is mine ....
Wayne your detail well that so I can have an example for when I take mine that being the old mold of hasegawa the interior is quite empty and I will have to detail it a lot, lol.
How nice to see these works.
But good staff paul..

Got some books on the G4 and a few on Japanese Interiors. I get home tomorrow night so I'll fire off what I have. Any thing specific Wayne?
Your right, just verified in book it is for a G4M2. The G4M1 is pretty reclusive for interior shots just like Wayne said. Hopefully some one will have some pictures on all three models.

Anything anyone can come up with...go for it!
Missed last night...so here are some more pics...
as there is some larger than normal glass panels or blisters I decided that some internal ejector pin marks had to be dealt with first and splashed some paint... then I decided extra floor was necessary behind the mid fuselage gun blisters...so done.
Then went to the main bulkhead forward of the blisters and added some detail there too....so here is a
spread of shots...
