Brett Green from one of the world’s most popular modelling sites, Hyperscale, unpacked, carefully inspected and reviewed Arma Hobby’s latest 1/72 scale model kit: the Ki-43 II Hayabusa.
Let’s see what Brett thinks of our new kit!
Advantages: High quality moulding; excellent surface textures and detail; high quality decals.
Disadvantages: Excess flash on fin / rudder; end-opening box.
Recommendation: Arma Hobby’s 1/72 scale Ki-43 II Hayabusa is a gorgeous little kit – crisp surface texture, high moulding quality and a very high level of detail. It’s a great package with the plastic parts as well as self-adhesive masks. What more could we ask for?

Conclusion
Arma Hobby’s 1/72 scale Ki-43 II Hayabusa is a gorgeous little kit – crisp surface texture, high moulding quality and a very high level of detail.
It’s a great package with the plastic parts as well as self-adhesive masks.
I do hope that Arma considers upscaling their Oscar to 1/48 too. The Fine Molds and Hasegawa kits were nice in their day but they are getting long in the tooth now with the Fine Molds kit dating all the way back to 1993 and Hasegawa to 2001.
In the meantime, you will enjoy Arma Hobby’s 1/72 scale Ki-43 II Hayabusa!
