The real subject

The Ki-43 Hayabusa, meaning peregrine falcon, was the most widespread fighter of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in the Second World War. It stood out for excellent agility and a small turning radius, while on the other hand it had a light structure and at first weak armament and armor. The late Ki-43-III version received a more powerful engine and was used in the closing phase of the war, among other things in the defense of Japanese airspace.

Building and painting tips

With short-run kits count on more careful cleaning up of the parts and on adjusting the mating surfaces where necessary. Paint and highlight the cockpit interior and the glazing frame before you close up the fuselage, and mask the clear canopy while spraying. Glue with thin modeling cement for plastic, apply a primer and spray the colors with an airbrush, apply the decals over a gloss varnish and bring out the panel lines with a wash.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Japanese aircraft of the Second World War
  • Modelers with experience of building short-run kits
  • Anyone interested in agile light fighters in 1:72 scale
  • Lovers of less usual late versions of well-known types

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
