Tamiya 25217 1/48 Mitsubishi Ki-46 III Type 100 & 4×4 Light Vehicle Kurogane Set

田宮 25217 1/48 日本 三菱 百式司令部偵察機III型 & 黑鐵四起 套裝

Often deployed in tactical reconnaissance missions during the Pacific War, the KI-46 III (百式司令部偵察機III型) was powered by two 1,300hp Ha-112-II engines. Its smooth, stretched canopy and rounded engine cowlings bear testament to its designers’ focus on aerodynamics, borne out by the fact that it was the fastest among its peers with a maximum airspeed of 630km/h. It started to see live action from 1944, flying missions in South-East Asia and over the Pacific.

Designed to a specification issued by the Japanese Army, 4,800 of the Type 95 – also known as the Kurogane (黑鐵四起) – were manufactured and used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force.
