Mitsubishi Ki-46-II Dinah

The Mitsubishi Ki-46 was initially developed as a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. Known to the Allies by the reporting name “Dinah”, its design placed particular emphasis on speed, altitude and an aerodynamic profile. The aircraft performed an important reconnaissance role, gathering intelligence across the Pacific theatre during the Second World War.

The Ki-46 design was later adapted for interceptor and strike roles, demonstrating how the original reconnaissance aircraft developed beyond its initial purpose. Its sleek appearance also makes the Ki-46 an interesting subject for aircraft modellers looking to add a Japanese wartime aircraft to their collection.
