Rediscover the new charm of the classic reciprocating transport aircraft! !!

The C-46 command, a masterpiece transport aircraft that appeared during World War II and has been used for a long time around the world even after the war.
Introducing a plastic model kit that discovers its new appeal.
The C-46 command was initially developed as a passenger aircraft, but was adopted by the United States Army Air Corps for its excellent basic performance as a transport aircraft.
It is a familiar aircraft in Japan because it has been operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force for a long time, but this time it is a kit with the specifications of the United States Army that fought in World War II as a new transport aircraft, reproducing the appearance when it first appeared.
A major feature of the C-46 is the fuselage line that flows streamlined from the nose.
In pursuit of aerodynamic sophistication, this style is further accentuated by the olive drab paint that is unique to US Army aircraft.
Another feature of the C-46 is that it is equipped with an engine of 2,000 horsepower, which is exceptionally powerful for a transport aircraft during the war, but the large-diameter 4-wing propeller and engine surroundings are also precisely reproduced.
The Platts 1/144 series includes a wide lineup of C-46s with the Air Self-Defense Force specifications, as well as P-47 Thunderbolts and F6F Hellcats equipped with the same engine.
If you compare them and arrange them as a collection, you can be sure that the appeal of the C-46 command as an advanced transport aircraft that is ahead of the times will be further conveyed.
