Quickboost QB48294 Nakajima Ki 43-II late exhaust - type B Hasegawa 1/48

The Quickboost QB48294 upgrade set is dedicated to the Nakajima Ki 43-II model in 1/48 scale, designed for Hasegawa kits. This precisely reproduced late variant, type B exhaust collector allows for realistic recreation of a detail that is often simplified in basic kits. The product is made from high-quality resin, which guarantees sharp detail reproduction as well as ease of processing and assembly.

The Nakajima Ki 43 Hayabusa, also known by its code name "Oscar," was a Japanese single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The Ki 43-II version, which utilized these late-type exhausts, was employed in all theaters of war in the Far East from 1942 to 1945, operating over China, Burma, India, and the Pacific. The type B exhaust was used in later production series, among others to improve performance and engine longevity.

The product is made of resin, allowing for sharp edges, realistic openings, and delicate curves that are impossible to achieve with injection molding technology. The parts fit directly to the Hasegawa kit without requiring complicated modifications to the fuselage.
