It was renowned for its exceptional maneuverability and low weight, but suffered from poor armor and vulnerable fuel tanks. This plane earned acclaim from pilots for its dynamic performance, though it also required crew to employ very precise combat tactics. The II Ko\/Otsu version used an improved engine and drive, making it popular among the allied forces of Thailand and Collaborationist China as well – as reflected in the paint schemes available in this Special Hobby kit.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The Special Hobby 72479 Nakajima Ki-43-II Ko\/Otsu Hayabusa plastic model kit features excellent detail reproduction and precisely molded parts. Glue and paints are not included – they are required separately.
