1/72 Nakajima Ki-43-II Ko/Otsu 'Japan's allies'
The Nakajima Ki-43 also identified as the Type 1 Fighter Aircraft and by the popular name Hayabusa "Peregrine Falcon," allied identification name: Oscar, was a single-engine, low-wing tactical fighter aircraft produced by the Japanese company Nakajima Hikoki KK from the latter part of the 1930s.
Design began in December 1937 in response to a request from the Imperial Japanese Army for a successor to the Nakajima Ki-27. The new fighter was to have, among other features, a retractable undercarriage but, at the same time, the Army Air Force Command demanded that the maneuverability qualities remain unchanged from those of the Nakajima Ki-27, which could only be achieved with a lighter fixed undercarriage.
Nakajima Ki-43.
The designers, led by Hideo Hitokawa,opted for a retractable assembly and the prototype of the new fighter made its first flight in January 1939. Equipped with a 925-hp Nakajima Ha 25 star engine and armed with two 7.7-mm machine guns, the plane proved to meet the requirements. Maneuverability, however, was inferior to that of the Nakajima Ki-27, and for a time its fate hung in the balance.
The Army finally decided to allow design studies to continue, and a series of aircraft with various modifications in the powerplant and armament were had. The program to improve the maneuverability of the aircraft led to a slimmer fuselage and the introduction of deflectors located on the inside of the wing. The latter arrangement significantly improved the maneuverability of the Nakajima Ki-43, especially in turning, and the military authorities were satisfied with the performance of the new aircraft.
In April 1941 the Army ordered production of this aircraft with the Army Type 99 star engine, the final version of the Ha 25, and the first deliveries took place in October of that year.
the Ki-43 was completely unknown when Allied pilots first encountered it. Like the Zero, the Ki-43 was light and easy to fly. It was a simple and agile machine with a cockpit that provided excellent visibility.
