Like most Imperial Japanese Army Air Service planes, the Ki-48 was a light, fast and maneuverable aircraft that focused on armament rather than armor. The type proved to be extremely effective dive bombers in operations in the Phillipines, Malaya and Burma. These bombers had a crew of four and could carry up to 1,700 lbs (800 kg) of bombs over extremely long distances. Late in the war, Ki-48s were used in numerous Kamikaze attacks. This limited edition kit features photo-etched dive breaks and decals for two IJAAF aircraft.

The kit is the 1/72 Hasegawa Kawasaki Type 99 Ki-48 "Lily" medium bomber  of the 8th Flight Regiment all built straight out of the box.

Straight forward build no fit or assembly problems worth mentioning the only additions being an Albion Alloy pitot tube All Tamiya paints and EZ line. I also substituted a rounded out wire for the dorsal radio loop. I wrapped fine solder wire around a pen to achieve the desired circumference and diameter.
Tamiya paints were used and after starting with a base coat of Black gloss primer and finishing with a panel line wash. The propellers were finished and chipped with a Silver Prisma color pencil and a powdery dried paint brush technique (I dip a brush in Mr Metal Aluminum #218) then let it dry overnight then brush it over the propeller blade to achieve a dusting effect that is very subtle and yet can be easily modified until the desired effect is achieved.
