Hasegawa 1/32 Nakajima Oscar Model Kit

The Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa (Peregrine Falcon, Allied codename "Oscar") was the Imperial Japanese Army's most numerous fighter, serving from the opening days of the Pacific War through to Japan's surrender. The Ki-43 embodied the Japanese philosophy of extreme maneuverability at the cost of protection and firepower. At 1/32 scale, this Hasegawa kit is a substantial build that reveals every detail of the Hayabusa's lightweight construction — the fabric control surfaces, the spindly landing gear, and the graceful lines that made it so agile in combat.
