FAO Shinpachi: Mitsubishi Ki-46-III

[Maximowitz]

Greetings my friend. Today I visited RAF Cosford Museum and took a few photos of the Ki-64 for you. I must apologise for the poor photographs, I was using my phone camera. However a friend of mine with a far better camera was on hand to help out, and as soon as he sends his shots to me I'll pass them on to you.

I have the photos I posted in much higher resolution so if you pm me with an email address I'll send them, they are quite large and far better.

I'm sure you might have spotted my mistake.... oops! Can some kind soul correct the thread title please!

Ki-46!

Paul you can. Hit your first post 'edit' then hit 'go advanced'

and change the title.

That Dinah is one slippery-looking airplane. Good pics for a cellphone...thanks for sharing!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree, she is a beauty!

 

[Shinpachi]

Wow You do not have to change your title, Paul

Guys, this was his promise visiting Cosford early this year.

Thank you very much!

Great looking plane! Whats the history on this machine?

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice pics Paul!

 

[Maximowitz]

Domo arigato! It was a pleasure to take them for you. Many thanks to whomever corrected the thread title.

And now... from the photos sent to me from my friend Michael... some better shots of her plus a mystery engine..

Oh, and I have a little suprise for you Shinpachi.

 

[Shinpachi]

They really fascinate me....the engine in the center is Nakajima Sakae 21 with A6M5 Zero fighter cowl
This is really a surprise for me
Thank you very much again for these nice shots, Paul!

Thanks For sharing! Love the Colors and Markings!

 

[razor1uk]

Colours and markings are RAF interpretations, more to prevent further corrosion than totally accurate, but close enough to 'factory fresh' Nice pics still though, cheers for posting them.

One of the few models I ever built when I was a kid, always liked the lines on her.
