History

The Mitsubishi Ki-46 was initially designed as a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft and later adapted for use as an interceptor and strike aircraft. Its design prioritised speed and altitude, resulting in an aerodynamic form that made it one of the most visually appealing aircraft of the war. Its reconnaissance role was crucial, providing vital intelligence across the Pacific theatre.

The Luftwaffe reportedly admired the Ki-46 so much that they sought to acquire manufacturing rights during the war, highlighting the aircraft's superior design and capabilities.

We now hold the manufacturing rights for the model kit version, enabling you to construct your own 1:72 scale Mitsubishi Ki-46-II on your workbench.
