Arma Hobby 1/72 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate Expert Set Plastic Model Kit [70051]

The Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (Gale, Allied code name Frank) fighter invariably makes the hearts of model builders and fans of the Far East WWII front beat faster. It is hardly surprising since we are dealing with classic Asian beauty. Although the plane made its combat debut quite late (over Yochow in China on August 28, 1944), it earned its legend quickly and hard.
