About the Ki-46 III Type 100
Japanese forces had a great asset at their command in the form of the Ki-46 long-range reconnaissance aircraft, which was first seen in 1939 and went through I and II versions before the appearance of the Ki-46 III, which boasted aerodynamic elements such as a sleek canopy stretching from the nose rearward and cowlings around the twin 1,300hp Ha-112 engines. It had a ceiling of 10,000 meters and outstanding range of 4,000 meters, all the while boasting a top speed of 630km/h that made it the fastest Japanese fighter in the Pacific in its time. The Ki-46 III saw action from 1944, cruising the skies over China, Asia and the Pacific, evade anti-aircraft fire with its speed to provide crucial reconnaissance for Japanese forces.
About the Kurogane 4x4
Designed to a specification issued by the Japanese Army, the Type 95 - also known as the Kurogane - underwent numerous changes even after its deployment; those manufactured from 1936 had a three-seater design with a 1,400cc V2 engine offering 33hp. It was accomplished off road thanks to front independent and rear leaf-sprung rigid suspension setups with large-diameter tires and between 1934 and 1943 4,800 were manufactured of the various types serving in China, Asia and the Pacific in a wide range of roles.
