Hasegawa 2452 1/72 Mitsubishi Ki51 Type 99 (Sonia) w/ Starter Truck

Model Kit

This kit recreates the versatile Japanese Army light bomber/reconnaissance aircraft that first flew in 1939 and was deployed across Asia—from China to Southeast Asia. Praised for its low-altitude agility, rough-field endurance, and multi-role performance until the war’s devastating conclusion.

The box includes an authentically scaled starter truck—a common sight on Japanese airfields—plus detailed decals from the 27th Flight Regiment, 1st Squadron, as flown in Kuala Lumpur in 1942. With approximately 60+ parts, crisp engraved lines, crew figures, bomb racks, reconnaissance camera variants, and dynamic packaging illustrated by Tankro Kato, this kit delivers both historical depth and modeling finesse.
