This item is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit. It requires both cement and painting to complete or use.
The Ki-79 was a trainer aircraft development of the Ki-27 Nate fighter built by Manshu Aircraft in Manchuria. It holds the distinction of being the only aircraft built in any part of China during World War II. It was also the first trainer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force in the post-war period. This kit is of the b version, a twin-seat advanced trainer. Panel lines are fine and recessed. A fret of photoetched parts is included to supply a very detailed cockpit, with photoetched instrument panels, seats, belts and levers. Vacuform windscreens are provided. Decals are for 3 aircraft: a "special attack" (suicide) aircraft of the 113th Shimbutai at Chiran, Japan, in the summer of 1945; an aircraft of the Red Army of China Air Force from 1946 and an aircraft of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air force Air Academy at Xian, China in 1951. While RS Models are "short-run" kits, it is honestly hard to believe that looking at the parts. RS Models kits are easily on par with the major makers, and the added detail provided by the photoetched pieces will make them really stand out, even to the "flashlight brigade".
