Hasegawa 1/72 Nakajima Ki-44-II Shoki - Accurate Tojo Representation

The Hasegawa 1/72 Nakajima Ki-44-II Shoki kit faithfully reproduces the Tojo fighter's compact form. The moulding captures the aircrafts essential lines and offers a solid base for a historically minded build.

Operational Background

The Nakajima Ki-44 served as a fast, high-climb interceptor in the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service. It was developed as part of a shift to more powerful single-seat fighters during the WWII period.

Build Characteristics

Hasegawa provides finely detailed parts that reflect the Ki-44s structure, including fuselage contours and wing planform. The kit suits modelmakers who enjoy careful assembly, filling and paintwork to highlight panel detail.

Collecting and Dioramas

At 1/72 scale the Ki-44-II Shoki fits neatly into wartime collections and small dioramas, allowing easy comparison with other fighters and support aircraft from the era.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
Build time varies with skill and finish level; expect several evenings for assembly and basic painting, longer for detailed weathering or diorama work.
A sharp hobby knife, fine tweezers, plastic cement, sanding sticks and small paintbrushes will significantly improve assembly and finishing.
The cockpit has basic instrument and seat moulding suitable for an open or closed canopy display, with scope for extra detailing by experienced builders.
