New Arrival: Tamiya Mitsubishi Ki-46 III & Kurogane 4x4 1/48 Scale Model Kit
We are excited to announce the arrival of a fantastic new addition to our model aircraft collection at Historia Emporium - The History Store: the Tamiya 25217 Mitsubishi Ki-46 III & 4x4 Kurogane 1/48 Scale Plastic Model Kit.
The Mitsubishi Ki-46, codenamed "Dinah" by the Allies, was a twin-engine reconnaissance aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Renowned for its speed and sleek aerodynamic profile, the Ki-46 was initially deployed as a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft that proved difficult for Allied fighters to intercept. The Ki-46 III variant featured improved engines and armament, making it one of Japan's most effective and durable reconnaissance platforms of the war.
This Tamiya 1/48 scale kit faithfully reproduces the elegant lines of the Ki-46 III while also including a highly detailed model of the Kurogane 4x4 scout car—Japan’s first mass-produced 4WD vehicle. The inclusion of the Kurogane adds depth to the diorama potential, representing the critical ground support roles that vehicles like this played in airfield logistics and reconnaissance coordination.
Modelers will appreciate Tamiya’s precision engineering, including intricate cockpit details, realistic surface textures, and quality decals. Whether you are building a standalone display or incorporating it into a larger World War II diorama, this kit offers excellent value and historical significance.
