Historical Description of the Model

The Nakajima Ki-43-II “Hayabusa” was a famous Japanese fighter aircraft from World War II. Used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service, this aircraft was noted for its excellent maneuverability. These machines fought intensively on many fronts across the Pacific, in China, Burma, Malaya, and New Guinea. The operational period was 1941–1945.
