Fi-167 Carrier Torpedo Bomber in 1/700 Scale

The Trumpeter 1/700 Fi-167 Torpedo Bomber kit presents a faithful miniature of an uncommon World War II naval plane. Its proportions and distinctive features make it a rewarding subject for modellers interested in naval aviation rarities.

Origins and Technical Traits

Originally planned for carrier deployment, the Fi-167 was built with robust airframe elements and gear to handle deck operations. Though only a few were produced, this model highlights the aircrafts intended capabilities and design choices.

Building Tips and Presentation

Moulding is crisp and parts align well when assembled carefully. Painting and delicate finishing will bring out panel lines and surface detail, resulting in a strong display piece for cabinets or shelf layouts.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for authentic appearance
Build time varies with skill level, but expect several focused sessions to trim, fit, glue, and paint the small parts neatly.
Decals are typically provided with the kit; at this scale they can be thin and require careful soaking and placement with tweezers and a soft brush.
Yes, photo-etch or resin detail sets designed for 1/700 aircraft can enhance fine elements, but they demand advanced skills and very fine tools.
Thin, multiple coats applied with a fine brush or airbrush give the best finish; use washes and light dry-brushing to accent panels without obscuring detail.
