Special Hobby 1/32 Manshu Ki-79 'Japanese Trainer'

[Kagemusha]

Autumn 2022 release, Hannants listing.

 

 

Thanks Santa!

I like SH's choices as they do stuff nobody else would even blink at let alone do a 1/32 scale kit of it.

I wish they'd do some more twins though. An Avro Anson would be nice in 1/32 and it had a few variants too.

Maybe that's asking a bit much though.

Oh just fine… my dual seat conversion is almost ready to button up the fuselage and this comes onto the radar!  So I guess now I will have two.  There were after all a number of variations.  LOL

I'm sure a late war kamikaze one will follow...

Isn’t that exactly what the illustration shows?

I've never even heard of this aircraft!

Is it a 2-seat Ki-27?

It was a Ki-27 with a different engine, there was a single seat trainer version, Ki-79a, two seater Ki-79b, so it might be either, hopefully the latter.

I think the engine resulted in a slightly longer fuselage but essentially similar to the KI-27.

Where are you finding these upcoming SH kits ?

Looks neat. This and a Val from Infinity. I very much like what SH do.

 

Some of their 1/72 offerings like the Super Mystère/Sa'ar and Mirages are really bijoux.

Good choice IMHO.
