1:32 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (Frank) part 7 - ROCAF and PLAAF (China / Taiwan)

Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate part 7, ROCAF and PLAAF 1:32 (Art Scale)

A set of waterslide decals with markings and national insignia for a model of the Japanese Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate fighter in postwar Chinese and Taiwanese service, in 1:32 scale. The maker is the Czech company Art Scale. It brings unusual options with the national insignia of the Chinese and Taiwanese air forces, which makes the model an interesting piece outside the usual Japanese markings.

The real subject

After the end of the war in the Pacific a number of captured Japanese aircraft, the Ki-84 among them, came into the hands of the opposing Chinese sides. These machines served with new markings until they were worn out. Their varied postwar history makes them a rewarding modeling subject.

Application

• The decals are soaked in lukewarm water and moved onto a glossy clear-coated surface.
• A decal softener and fixer are recommended for accurate settling.
• At the end the surface is unified with a clear varnish of the desired sheen.

Who the set is for

• Modelers interested in the postwar fates of Japanese equipment.
• Builders looking for an exotic marking option for the Ki-84.

This is not a kit and not a paint but a set of decals. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
