LEGO Ki-84 Hayate MOC
Hey guys, Jack here again, and this time I'm happy to show off my custom LEGO model of an Imperial Japanese Ki-84 Hayate from World War II!
The Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (allied reporting name: Frank) was a single-engined fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service during the latter parts of World War II. While this aircraft was designed to replace older designs such as the Ki-43 and even the Zero in some roles, it was noted as seldom being at its full potential. This was due to the lack of proper fueling, parts and experienced pilots that plagued the Japanese throughout the second half of the war. However, this aircraft, when maintained and flown properly, was noted as extremely deadly to allied forces. With a powerful Nakajima Homare radial engine, good maneuverability and incredible firepower, this threat in the air was rarely ever taken lightly.
The model itself features working landing gear and dihedral on the wings. The scale is something a bit larger than what I'm used to -- the model itself scales around ~1:30th to ~1:29th. However, I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome (for now, of course). But, let me know what YOU guys think! Comments, faves, and constructive critiques, as always, are highly appreciated!
