Overview

The Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate ("Gale"), codename "Frank" by the Allies, was a formidable Japanese Army fighter that entered service in the spring of 1944. Tasked with defending the home islands from B-29s and carrier aircraft, its combination of speed, firepower, and manoeuvrability led the U.S. military to deem it the best all-around Japanese fighter of WWII after post-war evaluation.

This 1/48 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of this powerful late-war fighter. The model accurately reproduces the Hayate's form and features delicate surface details. It offers a range of build options, including deployed or retracted landing gear and an open or closed canopy. The kit is completed with two pilot figures and a choice of four different marking options.

Features

  • The model can be assembled with the landing gear in either the retracted or deployed position
  • The canopy can be modelled in either the open or the closed position
  • The kit includes two pilot figures (one seated, one standing) in realistic poses
  • Four different marking options are provided for various JAAF units
  • The Hayate's powerful form is accurately reproduced with delicate surface details
  • A large external drop tank is included as an optional part
  • A classic kit from Tamiya's highly-regarded 1/48 Aircraft Series
  • Genuine Tamiya Product
