Hasegawa 1/72 Nakajima Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki japan NEW

● Ki-44 was developed as a heavy fighter who emphasized the battle withdrawal tactics, it is a local fighting aircraft type with short cruising distance
It was a personality. It is put into the mainland air defense warfare and becomes the essential part of Teijin air defense. As a Jongbang Equipment Corps
Flight No. 70 Squadron, Flight No. 23 Squadron, Flight No. 47 Sentai around Tokyo, Flight 246 Squadron in Keihansin Area
I took charge of it and demonstrated the main character as an air defense fighter against the B - 29 to come in.

● The Army successfully fought with 97 type fighter planes that were said to be the ultimate of light fighting aircraft and the fighter aircraft methods are also
Although it became the center of a light fighting aircraft, according to the Army Air Avion headquarters weapons research policy of Showa 13, the next term
In developing the fighter aircraft, becoming the center of the world with light fighting aircraft (later fighter aircraft fair)
I will start studying heavy fighter aircraft.

● Requests from the Army are maximum speed 600 Km / h or more ・ Altitude 5000 m to 5 min within, action radius 600 Km
As mentioned above, two armed 7.7 mm machine guns, two 12.7 mm machine cannon 2 gates, a considerably harsh condition
Although it was in the degree of completion that the heavy fighter of another country would take for the first flight, to Japan to be developed in the future
It is inevitable to think that it has no meaning unless it is a fighter that crosses them
Was it there?

● Nakajima Airplane is responsible for development of both fighter and heavy fighter, heavy fighter (later Jongjo) is Japan's first
Since it was a model, development was carried out focusing on young engineers, and Nakajima's unique design philosophy
It became an airframe with a lot of features taken abundantly.
● The most difficult thing was the choice of engines with high output and no compact engine, so for bombers
Adoption of engine H -41. For this reason it is the basis of a distinctive head-to-head design.

It became a symmetrical design with Raiden.
● The main wing has a structure that can withstand up to 12.6 G with a shorter wing width for speeding up and a sharp drop of 850 km / h.
In order to maintain turning performance Nakajima's unique butterfly flap which combines the air fighting flap is adopted.
The vertical tail wings arranged behind the horizontal tail fin is the result of considering transverse stability and longitudinal stability separately
It seems that it was quite effective.

● As a result of testing prototype increased, the maximum speed was 626 km / h (with conditions such as no arming) recorded.
"It is judged that it can be used as a bomber aircraft if it carries out a slight modification," and after the small modification of the aircraft 2 formulas
It is adopted as a single-seat fighter plan.

- H-109 engine that was being tested for some time was put into practical use, and replaced with H-109 engine with propeller and
The structure and arrangement of the oil cooler, bulletproof equipment etc. are adopted as 2 type 2 type single seat fighter after improvement
It was.
Maximum speed 600 Km / h, altitude 5000 m up to 4 minutes 15 seconds is very prominent.

Equipped with two guns of 12.7 mm machine guns, B type is equipped with 12.7 mm machine gun in the nose 2 gates 40 mm automatic injection gun 2 gates
Equipment, Creek type was equipped with two each of 12.7 mm machine gun together for both nose and wing.
