Hasegawa 2470 1/72 Mitsubishi Ki67 Type 4 Heavy Bomber Hiryu (Peggy)

Model Kit

This model captures one of Japan’s most sophisticated twin-engine bombers. First flown in December 1942 and introduced in 1944, the Ki-67 was famed for its resilience, speed, maneuverability, and superior defensive armament—features that, despite its “heavy bomber” designation, placed it among the elite medium bombers of the era. Positioned with white-tipped rudders to represent aircraft of the 4th Instruction Squadron at Hamamatsu Air Base, this limited-edition kit includes new decals marking machines 232, 236, and an additional variant—a tribute to its training heritage rather than combat glory. With crisp recessed panel lines, optional weapons configurations, and a lineage dating back to Hasegawa’s 1999 tooling—this kit offers both a refined modeling experience and a tangible connection to the legacy of Japanese wartime innovation.
