Historical Information

Nakajima Ki-115 "Tsurugi" is an aircraft designed as a simple yet technologically advanced and inexpensive-to-produce suicide bomber for Japanese kamikaze pilots in the final phase of World War II. The machine was meant for desperate attempts to stop the American invasion of the Japanese Islands. A simple silhouette, minimalist construction, and adaptation for a single, irreversible attack – these are the characteristic features of the Ki-115. Although production started in March 1945 and over 100 units were built, the aircraft was not used in combat before the end of the war.

Advantages of the Special Hobby 72199 Kit

• Very good surface detailing (panel lines, depiction of armament)
