The Mansyu Ki-98 was one of the most interesting and futuristic Japanese aviation projects of the war's end. The aircraft featured a unique pusher propeller configuration and a twin-boom tail, setting it apart from other designs of that era. The Ki-98 was designed to effectively engage ground targets as well as for aerial combat. However, the project never saw a flight-ready prototype, as development was halted by the end of the war and the factory's destruction by Soviet forces.

The Meng DS-002 Mansyu Ki-98 (1:72) plastic model kit is especially recommended for collectors of Japanese aviation models and enthusiasts of rare and experimental aircraft. The kit is characterized by a very high level of detail, well-fitting parts, and offers the opportunity to create a unique example seldom seen in museum or private collections.
