The Ki-43 Hayabusa Fighter served as the Japanese Army's main fighter during World War II. Development began in 1937, prior to World War II, with the prototype completed in 1938. While it did not meet the Army's requirements, the addition of drop tanks gave it a range of over 2,000 km. In April 1941, the test aircraft, the Ki-43, was officially adopted as the Ki-1 Fighter. The first type, equipped with a Ha-25 engine, was called the Type I and featured two 7.7mm machine guns. Later, the armament was upgraded to one 7.7mm machine gun and one 12.7mm cannon. Furthermore, the Type II had its engine replaced with a Ha-115, and the propeller changed from a two-bladed to a three-bladed one. The final production model, the Type III, saw its engine replaced with a Ha-115-II equipped with a water-ethanol injection system, further improving its performance.

      Serving as the Army's main fighter from the start of World War II, the Hayabusa continued to fight bravely against many Allied pilots thanks to its exceptional maneuverability and the skill of its pilots.


About the Model

      This 1/144 scale model recreates the Hayabusa, the Imperial Japanese Army's main fighter of World War II. This particular model is a replica of the early Hayabusa Type I.
The aircraft's shape, including the panel lines, is realistically rendered. The 61mm overall length allows the Hayabusa's highly maneuverable flight posture to be clearly seen. The drop tanks under the wings are also faithfully reproduced.

      Four types of markings are included, including those for the 64th Air Squadron and the Akeno Army Flying School. All aircraft feature unpainted natural metal markings. Decals are provided for the anti-glare paint on the nose, the gray-green painted control surfaces, and the canopy frame, so after painting the parts silver, you can easily apply the decals to create the perfect finish.
The parts are manufactured by Platz and include parts for two aircraft. The limited number of parts makes assembly easy, and the finished product fits in the palm of your hand. This is a kit that will be fun to build.

Great Mechanical Self-winder
Color: Black
Wow! So far I have only adjusted the time three times over the last few months. So far It keeps great time and looks good. Well worth the money after having blown a few dollars on less expensive mechanical watches that fail after only a few months of use. This thing is very good!

Beautiful
Color: All black
Having never previously owned a self-winding watch, and because the wristband did require some link-removal adjustment, I did hold off on wearing it for a few days until I could schedule an appointment with my jeweler to have the day/date setting and band-adjustment done. But a major part of my reason for doing so was my strong impression upon receipt of the watch that this was a very good choice. It is a very beautiful watch to look at, though compact and not overly bulky like many chronograph-style watches, its' heft conveyed a sense of a very solid, well designed and constructed watch. Since having the setting and adjustments done, I have been extremely pleased with how accurately it keeps time. In short, I LOVE this watch. I will also note this. Though my jeweler retails various high-end, and much more expensive watches, he was clearly impressed with the look and feel of this watch, and even made explicit comment about what a beautiful watch he felt it was. That said, I do have a quibble. The writing of the accompanying instruction booklet was riddled with English grammatical errors which were quite frustrating, and contributed to my reason for opting to have my jeweler complete the settings and adjustment. Also, when I contacted OLEV online to solicit guidance on how to expedite registering the purchase for warranty purposes, I received an email auto response saying that any Amazon purchase would require customer service and other guidance through the seller. Since my assumption upon Amazon purchase was that I WAS purchasing from OLEV as the seller, this remains a source of confusion which I yet need to resolve.

Doesn’t keep accurate time
Color: All black
I bought this for my husband because it said that it self winds but my husband noticed that it didn’t work within the first few days so I thought maybe it was defective so I purchased another one in exchange for the first one but the second one had the same issue. Don’t waste your money on this, it doesn’t work.
