Product description
The Nakajima Ki43 Hayabusa (Peregrine Falcon) was a single engined, land based tactical fighter plane used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force during WWII. Our 1:72 scale model is as flown by Nakajima Ki43 Pilot Sgt Kushiro Otake of 2nd Chutal/25th Sental over Nanking, China in 1943. Decorated in all over silver aluminium with dark green camouflage splotches on the upper side, the aircraft also features the red circles of the Japanese Air Force on both the upper and underside wings and the fuselage. The wing root leading edge is masked yellow and the high level of detail also includes dark green propellers with yellow striped tips and brown spinner. Even the exhaust pipes are given a rusty brown finish and the Pitot tube is finished in silver. Added authenticity extends to the anti glare shield along the top of the nose which is masked matt black, while the tail identifies the aircraft as number 15.
