Ten markings for the fast reconnaissance Mitsubishi Ki-46-III from independent chutai and hikotai of the Japanese Army Air Force from 1944 and 1945.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Ki-46 was among the most elegant aircraft of the Second World War, and its third production version was one of the few Japanese machines for which speed alone could take the place of defense. The cleanly shaped fuselage with continuous cockpit glazing came about because of air resistance, and Allied pilots often had trouble getting into a firing position on the machine before it ran away from them.
The markings on the sheet come mostly from the independent reconnaissance chutai numbered 17, 19, 32 and 82 and from the 16th Independent Hikotai. Machines from Chofu airfield, which covered the approaches to the capital in January 1945, are not missing either, nor is an aircraft of the 38th Sentai from 1944. The white fuselage numbers 7, 21, 26, 28, 37, 55 and 77 give plenty of room to put together a display case of your own.
The cockpit glazing on this type is long and rounded, so sanding it down does it no good. Mask the frames with narrow strips rather than by cutting into adhesive film directly on the part, where a score is easily made. The films then settle onto a smooth gloss surface with no sharp edges.
The contents are a printed sheet in 1:48 scale for a finished model.
The independent chutai were small formations of a few machines. They came directly under a higher command and often operated from makeshift strips, so a model with their emblem also suits a simple diorama with a field post and a camouflage net.
