Ki-46 III

Ki-46 III

Also known by its Japanese designation of Hyakushiki Shireibu Teisatsuki, or Type 100 Command Reconnaissance Aircraft, the Ki-46 (Allied reporting name "Dinah") was a strategic reconnaissance aircraft used by the Japanese Army in WWII. This kit depicts the Ki-46 III variant, which was powered by two 1,500hp Ha-112-II Kinsei-kai engines and was capable of a maximum speed of 630km/h. The streamlined canopy is precisely reproduced with six clear parts and the cockpit interior features details such as the instrument panel, rudder pedals, and camera equipment. Parts for two types of propellers and spinners as well as two crew figures are included. The four marking options include aircraft which belonged to the 10th Sentai and 15th Sentai.
