Historical background of the Nakajima Ki-87 II

The original Nakajima Ki-87 II was designed as a high-altitude interceptor for the Imperial Japanese Air Force towards the end of World War II. This aircraft was intended to counter the increasing threat posed by B-29 bombers attacking the Japanese home islands from high altitude. It featured a pressurized cabin and powerful armament (including 30 mm cannons). Very few were built, and the project never saw operational use due to production delays and the end of the conflict.

Set contents and unique features

The set includes a precisely cast fuselage and wing parts, a clear canopy, and decals enabling you to achieve authentic late-war markings. The model does not include resin components or photo-etched accessories, but the plastic detail level is very high, which makes it easy to achieve a realistic final effect.
