Heads Up!

Special Hobby  -  Nakajima Ki-43-Koh/Otsu "Hayabusa" (Oscar) - Japan's Allies - in 1/72


Very interesting subject, pity they F-up the IFF stripes in the illustrations. And the Manchurian Air Force roundels are also completely F-up in the illustrations and most probably in the decal sheet too. WOW! WTF!?!?!?What did these guys use for their source? 

That's exactly how it should look like. Illustration Nohara Shigeru, Model Art #395.

I'll check again the Thai markings to see if they're correct but just for the MAF subject, the decal set of this kit is NOT recommended.

Too bad. Thanks for the analysis.

Thanks, for the accurate information regarding the MAF insignia used on the Ki43.

I will undoubtedly purchase the Special Hobby Bird but use a different decal set.
