Ki-43-I Hasegawa, OOB ... almost


Recommended Posts

There is something about Japanese fighter planes, something exotic, something mysterious. It makes you all the more happy when you find a really "colorful" Army aircraft that looks good.

The aircraft was flown by the 1st Hiko-Sentai commander, Major Kinshiro Takeda, stationed in Hanoi in October 1942.
What makes this machine noticeable is the so-called “leader markings”, a special marking of the machine’s rank using stripes.
That was an invitation to build exactly this machine.

Overall, Hasegawa has produced a great kit whose accuracy of fit and originality can be rated very high.
I have a little more wear on my machine than can be seen in the photo. It took me a while to find this template.
