Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate

Build Notes

This kit is from Hasegawa’s 1:32 scale fighter series that debuted in the early 2000’s. I think that the kits from this range are some of the best values in the hobby. The tooling and engineering is outstanding and they have enough detail to stand on their own while being ideal platforms for aftermarket super-detailing.

I built this entirely out-of-the-box and painted the markings using my own masks. The bare metal is Tamiya rattle can with a few panels picked out in shades of Alclad II.
