Mansyū Ki-98 - IJN Very Very Heavy Fighter


Recommended Posts

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.

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
