Hasegawa 1/72 Mitsubishi Ki46-iii 100 Model Kit

The Mitsubishi Ki-46-III "Dinah" was the ultimate version of Japan's premier strategic reconnaissance aircraft, capable of speeds exceeding 375 mph at altitude—making it nearly impossible for Allied fighters to intercept in the early war years. The Type 100 Command Reconnaissance Plane was one of the most elegant aircraft designs of WWII, with its streamlined fuselage, closely cowled radial engines, and exceptional aerodynamic refinement. The Ki-46-III featured more powerful Ha-112 engines and could operate at altitudes above 35,000 feet. Hasegawa captures the flowing lines of this beautiful reconnaissance platform.
