Sword 72124 Ki-102a/b Kou/Otsu 1/72 Plastic Model

Sword 72124 Ki-102a/b Kou/Otsu is a high-quality plastic model kit in 1/72 scale, faithfully replicating the Japanese Kawasaki Ki-102 fighter-bomber aircraft. The set allows you to build two versions of this unique aircraft: the Kou variant (fighter-bomber) and the Otsu variant (night fighter), both of which were used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force during World War II.

The Kawasaki Ki-102 appeared at the end of World War II, replacing earlier aircraft types in frontline units. It was in service from 1944 to 1945, mainly on Japan’s home islands and during the battles of Okinawa, where the Ki-102 Otsu version proved itself particularly well in night fighter operations. The design featured twin engines and heavy armament—including, in the fighter-bomber version, a powerful 57 mm cannon.

This model has been produced by the renowned Czech company Sword, using top-quality plastic to ensure excellent detailing and precision. The kit includes detailed fuselage and wing parts, a clear canopy, and separate propellers. Decals for both aircraft versions—Ki-102a Kou and night fighter Ki-102b Otsu—are included, giving modelers the option to build their preferred version.
