Reini78 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 #17/2020 The Imperial Japanes theme continues. After two navy subjects now one from the army. Hasegawa kit oob, only added Eduard seatbelts, EZ line for the antenna wires and plastic rod pieces for the landing gear indicators on the upper wings. Painted with MRP White Aluminium. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235074607-banzai148-nakajima-ki-44-ii-otsu-shoki-”tojo”-40mm-cannon-imperial-japanese-army/ In order to achieve better results against the B-29s it was decided to equip the Ki-44 air defence fighter with Ho301 40mm cannons. It used caseless ammunition and had a low muzzle velocity. Due to that the pilots had to get very close to the bombers to score a good hit. The system wasn´t very successful so most of the 40mm guns were replaced with 20mm or 12,7mm ones. The model shows an aircraft of 2nd Chutai 47th Hiko Sentai.

Spitfire31 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Extremely neat model. Yopu shouldn't pick up a finished model without vinyl gloves or similar – your fingerprints will be etched into the surface… Beautiful modelling! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Great looking Shoki! One of my favourites - it looks a little brute with the oversized bomber engine. Not overly successful but a first step into a different fighter design philosophy. A typical Reini's father wonderwork. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
