Jake Moon Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hello all! Here is my latest completion, the Mansyū Ki-98 prototype from Meng. A very nice kit that goes together well, though the decals were rather fraile. Model was painted with Tamiya rattle can. The Ki-98 was an experimental ground attack fighter that sadly never flew and was subsequently destroyed by the war's end. This was quite a big plane too - dry it tipped the scales slightly north of 3,500 kg! Comments always welcome. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Never heard of it, but it looks like a more advanced version of the Swedish SAAB J 21A twin-boom pusher fighter. I gues that the allied troops were not that sad that it never flew – it looks like poison… Excellent model of a particularly interesting prototype! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Very nice, quite a neat paint finish. I like the profile of the aircraft and tempted to build this kit. Seem to recall reading somewhere the plane was destroyed because of the Russian advance and the Japanese feared it may fall into their hands.
