Eduard FE163 Ki-44 Tojo 1/48 Hasegawa – photo-etched details for the model

Eduard FE163 Ki-44 Tojo 1/48 Hasegawa is a precisely designed set of photo-etched parts for the 1:48 scale plastic model of the Nakajima Ki-44 fighter, also known under the Allied codename "Tojo." This product was created especially for the Hasegawa model, significantly enhancing its level of detail and aesthetic value.

The Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki was a Japanese fighter aircraft that entered service with the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force during World War II. Serial production began in 1942, and Ki-44 fighters primarily operated in the Far East, including China, the Philippines, and during the defense of the Japanese Home Islands. The Ki-44 was notable for its high speed and an unusual for Japanese World War II fighters preference for high rate of climb and firepower over maneuverability.

The presented Eduard FE163 set contains high-quality, factory-colored photo-etched metal sheets that enable highly accurate replication of the finest cockpit details, such as seatbelts, instrument panel, control stick, and side panels. These carefully prepared accessories significantly surpass standard plastic parts and allow you to achieve the most realistic aircraft cockpit effect in this scale. Thanks to the use of ultra-thin stainless steel, the parts are extremely precise and durable, while remaining easy to work with and assemble.
