HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa, also known as the “Oscar,” was a Japanese single-engine, single-seat fighter aircraft that was used during World War II. It was designed by the Nakajima company and was primarily used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service (IJAAS). The Ki-43 was known for its speed, maneuverability, and powerful armament.
The Ki-43 piloted by the 50th Group, 2nd Squadron, was deployed in the Pacific theater, where it saw extensive action in 1942. The aircraft was used primarily in air-to-air combat and ground attack missions, and it was known for its ability to operate in challenging conditions. The Ki-43 was considered to be one of the best fighters used by the IJAAS during the war and was highly valued by its pilots.
The Ki-43 was considered to be a major contributor to the IJAAS during the early stages of the war, but it was gradually phased out of service as the war progressed due to its lack of armor and self-sealing fuel tanks, which made it vulnerable to enemy fire. Nevertheless, it was still used in combat until the end of the war, and a number of Ki-43 aircraft were captured by the Allies and were used for testing.
The Nakajima Ki-43 50th Group, 2nd Squadron, 1942 1:72 Scale Model Aircraft by Oxford Diecast is a highly detailed and accurate replica of the actual aircraft. It is made of die-cast metal and plastic and is perfect for collectors and aviation enthusiasts. It is a great addition to any collection and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of World War II aviation and the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service.
