#080 Nakajima Ki-84 Egg-Scale
An egg-scale warm up before I move on to the Arma Hobby Ki-84 Hayate.
Notes
The Nakajima Ki-84 (キ84 疾風) is a single-seat fighter flown by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service between 1943 and 1945. It was designed as a replacement for the Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa.
See #084 Nakajima Ki-84 for my “non-egg-scale” 1:72 build of the Ki-84.
The Kit
WWII Japanese Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate Tiger Model No. TM-102 1:Egg is the original 2016 boxing of the kit. I purchased the kit from the “Colorfulday Store” on aliexpress for SG$14.94 in Jul-2022.
See instructions.
