\"\"<\/p>\n

We are starting the publication of a series of articles by renowned Japanese aviation expert Nick Millman. In them, Nick will provide information on the differences between the various production versions of the Nakajima Ki-43 II Hayabusa fighter, with particular emphasis on the versions that can be built using the Arma Hobby kit. Also, as a modeller, he will not neglect the question of painting and marking of these aircraft.<\/p>\n

Together with Nick, we will try our best to illustrate this rather complicated article with photos and drawings, which is not easy – Japanese photos in good quality for which publication rights can be obtained are not widely available….<\/p>\n

We invite you to read Nick Millman’s article!<\/p>\n

2nd version of the “Falcon”<\/h2>\n

Development production of the Nakajima Type 1 Model 2 Fighter (Ki 43-II Hayabusa – “Peregrine Falcon”), Allied code name \u2018Oscar\u2019, began in parallel with continued production of the Model 1 (Ki-43-I) in February 1942. The development programme was essentially the replacement of the Ha-25 engine with the improved Ha-115 but other improvements and changes were made throughout the production run.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
