Responsibility details are not available.
A plastic kit of the Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki fighter in 1:48 scale from the Japanese manufacturer Hasegawa. The package belongs to the range tied to the animated series The Magnificent Kotobuki and carries the finish associated with the character Roig, that is a fictional scheme rather than the historical markings of a particular machine. The plastic parts correspond to the standard kit of the aircraft; what is specific to this package are the decals for the series version. The number of parts and the exact contents of the decal sheet are given in the manufacturer's instructions.
The Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki was a single-seat fighter with a radial engine, designed as an interceptor with the emphasis on rate of climb and speed rather than on agility. Compared with the Japanese fighters of the time it had higher wing loading, short wings and a sturdier structure; pilots used to light, agile types had to get used to its different handling. The Allied code designation of the type was Tojo. A characteristic feature of the airframe is the massive front end with the cowling of the radial engine and the fairly slender rear.
On an aircraft with a radial engine, spend time on the cylinder bank and the lower part of the cowling, which are clearly visible once it is assembled. Paint and fit the cockpit before you glue the fuselage halves together; the framing of the canopy is most easily done with masking tape cut into thin strips. A fictional finish tends to be more colorful than a historical one, so spray a light base so that the colors hold their tone. Lay the decals onto gloss clear and knock them back once they have dried so that the carrier film is not visible. Accent the panel lines with a fine wash and wipe the excess off in the direction of the airflow.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
