The Ki-43 Hayabusa Fighter served as the Japanese Army's main fighter during World War II. Development began in 1937, prior to World War II, with the prototype completed in 1938. While it did not meet the Army's requirements, the addition of drop tanks gave it a range of over 2,000 km. In April 1941, the test aircraft, the Ki-43, was officially adopted as the Ki-1 Fighter. The first type, equipped with a Ha-25 engine, was called the Type I and featured two 7.7mm machine guns. Later, the armament was upgraded to one 7.7mm machine gun and one 12.7mm cannon. Furthermore, the Type II had its engine replaced with a Ha-115, and the propeller changed from a two-bladed to a three-bladed one. The final production model, the Type III, saw its engine replaced with a Ha-115-II equipped with a water-ethanol injection system, further improving its performance.

      Serving as the Army's main fighter from the start of World War II, the Hayabusa continued to fight bravely against many Allied pilots thanks to its exceptional maneuverability and the skill of its pilots.


About the Model

      This 1/144 scale model recreates the Hayabusa, the Imperial Japanese Army's main fighter of World War II. This particular model is a replica of the early Hayabusa Type I.
The aircraft's shape, including the panel lines, is realistically rendered. The 61mm overall length allows the Hayabusa's highly maneuverable flight posture to be clearly seen. The drop tanks under the wings are also faithfully reproduced.

      Four types of markings are included, including those for the 64th Air Squadron and the Akeno Army Flying School. All aircraft feature unpainted natural metal markings. Decals are provided for the anti-glare paint on the nose, the gray-green painted control surfaces, and the canopy frame, so after painting the parts silver, you can easily apply the decals to create the perfect finish.
The parts are manufactured by Platz and include parts for two aircraft. The limited number of parts makes assembly easy, and the finished product fits in the palm of your hand. This is a kit that will be fun to build.

The Best for Athletics
Color: Black/Gray
This is a sleek, light wristwatch that will not weigh you down with its bulk. Forget the gigantic profile of a "survivalist" wristwatch. This unisex model is svelte and slim, not adding much to the wake you generate while swimming, or the swing of your arms while running, or the wind as it passes around your wrists and hands while you are speeding by on your racing bike. This is only 34mm across, by 35mm tall, by 11.5mm thick. The wristband is 13mm at its median working width. Timex styling cannot be beat, and neither is the resin-rubber-like material. I don't know about you, but the price is something I take a good look at. I want a watch that is reasonably priced and high-quality. I don't want to spend $200 to $1000 on a watch and worrying about being careful with it. If it gets smashed, it's only $30 to $50, not a big loss, and the quality is way better than what they were making in the 1980's. These watches are made for athletics and the real world.

Great watch, flimsy band
Color: Gray/Lilac
I bought this watch to replace a similar model because the band broke. I see this is a recurrent problem in many other reviews. However, I liked the watch enough to buy it again anyway. I found the new model easy to set, being fairly intuitive. So far it keeps perfect time. I use this watch mainly as a travel watch, and loved the dual time zone function. I am pleased that the newer model now has the ability to set 3 times zones instead of 2, which is an added bonus. The only con I see at this point is the flimsy strap. Unfortunately, the strap on this model is even thinner than on the previous one, and I wonder how long it will last. Also I wonder about the battery length. I think these watches may have been sitting around a long time. The setting showed 2012. I am afraid much of the battery life of the original battery may have already been used up and the battery may need replacing early. Only time will tell. The watch fits my small wrist fine and it is a little more attractive than the old model. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the band problem.

Fine for a man (with skinny wrists)
Color: Black/Gray, Color: Black/Gray
I have an older mens ironman which has gotten a little beat up and needs replacing. The band is much longer than I need. The metal clasp sits off-center on the underside of my wrist, closer to the part of my wrist which curves around to the front. The too-long strap sometimes flops around and catches on things. I couldn't find a smaller-band mens version, so I tried this "womens" watch (picking the most manly-looking one, of course). I like it better. The band fits my wrist much better, with the metal band in the middle and no flop. I also like that the watch is lighter and the face and band are smaller and less bulky, so it is less noticeable when I'm wearing it (cycling weight weenies will appreciate this). The face is still large enough to be easily legible and contains all of the same great features as my mens ironman watch, plus the newer versions now have an hourly chime, nice! Other info: my wrist is ~17.5cm or ~7.0" around. On this watch, I use the 6th out of 9 slots on the band. On my mens ironman, I use the 3rd out of 9 slots. Weight: this one = 28g, mens = 39g. Pics show comparison of my prior mens ironman with this new "womens" ironman. Photo order is confusing (couldn't figure out how to change that). They are: (1) side-by-side, mens on left, (2) mens band (wider and clasp is off-center on my wrist, end of band hangs over the edge of my wrist -- too long for me -- catches on things), (3) womens band (less wide, clasp is more centered on my wrist and end does hang over edge of my wrist), (3) womens watch (smaller, and looks new), and (5) mens watch, looking a little beat up.

Watch holds up in saltwater!
Color: Black/Gray
I bought this watch to use for my trip to the Galapagos Islands. I read two reviews that the watch does not hold up in salt water. I went snorkeling in the ocean 6 times, about 45 minutes each time. The watch did not leak. I did take precautions by keeping the watch under my rash guard and lowering myself slowly into the water. I also rinsed off my watch each time I snorkeled. I also bought this watch for the multi time zone feature by saving the time on the west coast, east coast and Galapagos time since I cannot change the time on my Fitbit until I land in an airport. I did not use any other features of the watch because I generally use my phone or Fitbit for an alarm or timer. The only complaint I have is that Timex now discourages changing the battery by the consumer. I changed the battery myself on my old Ironman watch. The new Ironman watch is fitted with triangular head screws. So I will have to purchase screwdrivers with triangular heads when it comes time to change the battery.
