Why this kit matters
The Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa (隼, "Peregrine Falcon") was a single-engine land-based tactical fighter used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in World War II. Allied pilots often referred to it as the "Oscar". The Ki-43 was known for its exceptional manoeuvrability and was a formidable opponent in the early years of the war. It played a significant role in many key battles throughout the Pacific Theatre. Despite its light construction and limited armament, the Hayabusa became one of Japan's most produced and widely used fighters of the war.
This model kit allows you to recreate the Nakajima Ki-43II Hayabusa in detailed miniature. It captures the essence of WWII Japanese aviation and provides an engaging building experience for modellers. The finished model is a great display piece, celebrating the historical significance of this iconic aircraft.
