1:48 Ki-46 III 100 & Kurogane, plastic model kit

This 1:48 plastic model assembly kit pairs the Mitsubishi Ki-46 III Type 100 Command Recon Plane with the Japanese 4x4 Light Vehicle Type 95 Kurogane, creating a compact World War II display with both air and ground presence. The aircraft's streamlined form, twin-engine layout and large glazed canopy give the scene a strong reconnaissance character, while the small staff vehicle adds scale contrast beside the parked plane. The Ki-46 III was used by the Japanese Army as a strategic reconnaissance aircraft and was powered by 2 Ha-112-II Kinsei-Kai engines rated at 1,300 hp each, with a maximum speed of 630 km/h. In model form, the canopy is rendered with 6 clear parts, and the cockpit features seats, an instrument panel and a transceiver. Four marking options are included for the aircraft. The Type 95 Kurogane represents one of the earliest lightweight 4x4 vehicles, and this kit captures its compact rounded body in 75 mm length. A choice of open or closed hood changes the vehicle's finished look, while a metal transfer and decal recreate the star mark on the front grille. With 4 full body figures in total, the set supports airfield-style arrangements that place crew and vehicle around the completed aircraft. Assembly is required, and the stated assembly time is 600 minutes.
