Overview of the 1/700 Fi-167 Torpedo Bomber

The Trumpeter 1/700 Fi-167 Torpedo Bomber kit renders a seldom-seen carrier aircraft with attention to shape and surface detail. Its reduced scale makes it a practical choice for collectors with limited display space.

Service Intent and Structural Features

Designed for operations from aircraft carriers, the Fi-167 included sturdy construction and landing gear tailored for deck use. Although it did not enter wide service, the model demonstrates the aircrafts intended structural traits and naval focus.

Construction Notes and Finishing Advice

Parts are moulded cleanly and need patient trimming and fitting to avoid gaps. Careful painting and finishing will enhance the kit, turning it into a neat showcase piece for model cabinets or themed layouts.

Specifications

  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for authentic appearance
It is doable for hobbyists new to small-scale modelling but requires patience and steady hands due to the tiny parts and fine joins.
Standard thin plastic cement works well for most joins; for delicate parts a drop of cyanoacrylate adhesive may be used sparingly.
A clear matt or satin varnish applied after decals and weathering will seal the finish and reduce handling wear.
