TAM61501 Nakajima Ki-84 HAYATE "FRANK"

The Nakajima Ki-84 "Hayate" was a single-seat fighter used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in World War II. The Allied reporting name was "Frank"; the Japanese Army designation was Army Type 4 Fighter. Featuring excellent performance and high maneuverability, the Ki-84 was considered to be the best Japanese fighter to see large scale operations during World War II. It was able to match any Allied fighter, and to intercept the high-flying B-29 Superfortresses.[2] Its powerful armament (that could include two 30 mm and two 20 mm cannon) increased its lethality. Though hampered by poor production quality in later models, a high-maintenance engine, a landing gear prone to buckle, and lack of experienced pilots above all else, Hayates proved to be fearsome opponents; a total of 3,514 were built.------- Twee uitvoeringen mogelijk; *58th Shinbu Team (Miyazaki prefecture, Miyakonojyo Air Base 1945). -------- *10th Training Squadron (Awaji Island, Yura Air Base 1945). ------- Afmetingen; *Lang; 206.7 mm. *Spanwijdte; 234 mm.-------- EXTRA; *Includes motor and motor mount. ------- *Propeller rotation starts by finger touch. ------- *Display base included.
