Hasegawa 1/72 Ki51 99 Recon W Starter Truck Model Kit

The Mitsubishi Ki-51 Type 99 (Allied codename "Sonia") was the Imperial Japanese Army's primary tactical reconnaissance and light attack aircraft throughout WWII. Simple and robust, the Ki-51 served from the Chinese theater through the Philippines and Okinawa, where many were used in kamikaze attacks in the war's final months. This set includes a period-correct starter truck used to start the aircraft's engine on the ground, adding diorama potential. The fixed landing gear and open rear cockpit gave the Ki-51 a distinctive prewar appearance. Hasegawa captures both the aircraft and ground vehicle in this combo set.
