This Hasegawa model kit lets you build a 1:72 scale replica of the Japanese Ki-43 Hayabusa fighter, known to the Allies as the Oscar. The unassembled plastic kit includes multiple parts molded in yellow, orange, blue, clear, gray, green, and silver, plus a decal sheet and detailed instructions. Paints and glue are required but not included, making it a hands-on project for modelers.

What This Model Kit Includes

The kit contains injection-molded plastic parts on sprues, a set of water-slide decals, and an illustrated instruction manual. The decals offer markings for authentic Japanese Army aircraft. Since the kit is not pre-assembled, you'll need to cut, sand, and glue the pieces together. Paints are necessary to finish the model as shown on the box art.

Scale and Dimensions

Built at 1:72 scale, the completed model measures approximately 4.72 inches long, 5.51 inches wide, and 1.57 inches tall. The box size matches these dimensions. This scale is popular among modelers for its balance of detail and display size.

Building the Kit

Hasegawa kits are known for good fit and fine detail. The instruction sheet leads you step by step from cockpit assembly to final decal application. The kit is rated for kids (age 8+ with adult help) as well as experienced hobbyists. You can choose to build it with landing gear up or down, and the canopy can be posed open or closed. The clear parts allow you to show off the interior detail.
