The Mitsubishi Ki-46-III was one of the most important reconnaissance aircraft in the Japanese Army Air Force during World War II. The Ki-46-III (Allied reporting name “Dinah”) entered mass production in 1942 and served primarily from 1943 until the end of the war in all operational theaters involving Japan, especially in the Far East and the Pacific. Thanks to its high speed, long range and advanced aerodynamic solutions, this aircraft excelled at reconnaissance and scouting missions, often evading Allied fighters. The Ki-46-III version featured more powerful 1,500 hp Mitsubishi Ha-112-II engines, a modified fuselage, and an improved cockpit for better crew protection.

The Techmod 48111 set includes decals representing authentic markings from aircraft such as:

• 17th Independent Chutai (Chofu, 1945)
• 16th Independent Hikotai (“White 37”, “White 77”, 1945)
• 19th Independent Chutai (1944–45)
• 38th Sentai 2nd Chutai (1944)
• 82nd Independent Chutai (“White 7”, “White 55”, 1945)

This product is perfect both for advanced modelers seeking historical accuracy, and ambitious enthusiasts interested in expanding their collection of Japanese WWII aircraft. Suitable for use with most 1:48 scale plastic Ki-46 kits (e.g., Tamiya, Hasegawa, FineMolds).

Difficulty level: 2/5 – decal application is moderately easy, but requires precision and basic modeling skills.

We recommend the Techmod 48111 - Mitsubishi Ki-46-III set to all modelers who value perfect reproduction of historical details from WWII aircraft. It is an excellent choice both for diorama building and for competition model presentations.
