1:48 Hyakushiki Shitei III Kai
Item ##61056

Description
In an effort to counter the high-flying B-29s which were
attacking Japan in the latter stages of the Pacific War, the
Japanese Army modified the Ki-46 "Dinah", Japanese designation
Hyakushiki Shireibu Teisatsuki or Type 100 Command Reconnaissance
Aircraft, into an air defense fighter. This kit may be assembled
as either an Otsu variant of the Ki-46 III-Kai, which was armed
with two 20mm cannon in the nose, or the Otsu + Hei variant,
which also had a 37mm cannnon that was specially mounted to fire
upward. Anti-aircraft "Ta" cluster bombs, which were designed to
be released above the B-29 formations, could also be mounted on
the wings. Two crew figures and three marking options are
included.
