So, obviously at 300 Yen these are not going to be the best examples of these aircraft ever. However, if you compare the quality of these aircraft to the early Yujin or Furuta Gacha aircraft - you can see how much the manufacturing process has improved in the last 10 years to be able to issue these at a higher level of quality for the same price!
Also, though not at the level or quality of Takara "Wings of the Luftwaffe" or Tomytech "GiMix" series, its nice to see them showing 1/144 aircraft some interest...
Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (キ84 疾風 Gale) The Allied reporting name was "Frank"; the Japanese Army designation was Army Type 4 Fighter (四式戦闘機, yon-shiki-sentō-ki). The Ki-84 is generally considered the best Japanese fighter to operate in large numbers during the conflict.
