Scale: 1/48
Manufacturer: ARII / OTAKI
Model Type: Nakajima KI43 IIB hababusa/ oscar
Aftermarket scratch cockpit and details in de plane, ip of yahu models YMA4865
the airplane that is very little seen is about the airplanes that Japan gives to the independent forces of thailand after its invasion, as a reinforcement in the Southeast Asia after the reinforcement of the Americans and the British before the loss of the air supremacy.
more detailed information in, here
In total, Thailand had 27 ki43 between the IB and IIB series, (as is the model I'm going to do).
researching the network and the books that I have the plane take a text between what they explain in the pages of the network and own writing to do a little history of the model that as there is almost no information about them, there are 4 pictures of the plane exclusively, the information is very little.
according to the historian who collaborated with osprey, recently published this image of a Ki-43 Hayabusa in Thai brands that gives us, perhaps for the first time, a clear impression of the camouflage pattern. In 1970, Richard Ward's profile in the Aircam Aviation No.13 series 'Nakajima Ki.43 Hayabusa IB - IIB in the Japanese Army Air Force - RTAF - CAF - IPSF Service' (Osprey Publications Ltd) described the aircraft in a "stylized stone spike" pattern that has been copied into many representations, including models, since then.
The art of the Revell box from 1967 for the Thai edition of his Hayabusa kit also reflected this idea, although quite anachronistic for the Ki-43 IB represented by the kit (of which more anon).
The photograph shows a much more random pattern of at least two colors, sprayed at close range on the natural metal. Some representations represent the flashes of the natural metal surface as deliberately applied swirls of light gray, but I do not think that is the case.
According to what I have learned the response of the Thai government, through its aviation ministry, that I have had a consultation on the subject, which has responded, according to its writings, documents and files, the planes are painted with remains and remains of Japanese paintings So with that information I got in touch with the author of the j-aircraft.com article about 43 ki Thai, which although he says he can not be sure or know for sure but he thinks that the plane was painted with the colors on the natural metal it was painted with the #21- I identified as the A14 Karekusa-iro (khaki green fs20400) and the #22 I identified as the A1 Ao midori-iro (black green fs 34088).
