Tamiya 1:48 Mitsubishi Ki-46 III Type 100 Dinah

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of Japanese patrol aircraft in 1:48 scale.

The Tamiya kit allows building the Japanese Ki-46 III Type 100 Japanese aircraft together with the two crew members (pilot and navigator). Ki-46 was an almost perfect aircraft plane from the beginning. It exceeded the speed as well as the enemy and had an unmatched ceiling. With the development of American aviation, the Japanese have also modernized their project. Thanks to continuous innovation, the Ki-46 in its final version has a speed of over 630 km / h and a ceiling of 10 thousand meters.

In the box, there are 5 frames with aircraft elements, a transparent frame with parts of the fairways and decals (allow reconstruction of aircraft from 10, 15 Air Group, 55 Independent Squadron or suicide unit Shinbu Sakura).

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
