Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate "Aces" 1/72 – highly detailed Imperial Japanese Army fighter kit featuring Cartograf decals, painting masks, and two marking options for famous Japanese fighter aces of World War II.

Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate “Aces” 1/72

Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (“Gale”) was the most advanced fighter aircraft produced in series for the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second World War. It combined high speed, excellent manoeuvrability, powerful armament and very good performance at low and medium altitudes. When it entered frontline service in the autumn of 1944, it was one of the few Japanese aircraft capable of effectively challenging the latest American fighters.

Despite Japan’s steadily worsening military situation, many Hayate pilots achieved impressive combat records. This kit features two aircraft flown by some of the best-known aces associated with the Ki-84.

Kit contents

  • highly detailed Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate model kit in 1/72 scale,
  • high-quality decals printed by Cartograf,
  • masks for painting the canopy and wheels,
  • two historically documented marking options,
  • clear, full-colour assembly instructions.
