Arma Hobby 1/72 Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa Plastic Model Kit

The Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa (Falcon) fighter, nicknamed ‘Oscar in Allied code, was Japan's equivalent of the Spitfire and the Messerschmitt Bf-109 - it was a core piece of the Imperial Japanese Army Aviation throughout the Second World War, and was refined and produced in successive versions during all that period. Although it remained somewhat in the shadow of the naval Mitsubishi ‘Zero, famous on the Pacific front thanks to its spectacular carrier battles, the Hayabusa played a major role in the battles over the Asian continent: over China, Burma, Malaya, but also over the Philippines and New Guinea. There it fought effectively against the air forces of China, the USA, Great Britain, Australia and the Netherlands, making a major contribution to the initial great victories of the Japanese.
