RS Models' kit of this "Japan '46" fighter is a limited-run injection kit, but of very high quality. Panel lines are fine and consistent, a large fret of photo-etched parts is included to detail the cockpit and radiators, and the resin engine is absolutely beautiful (a shame it will be almost impossible to see behind the cooling fan). The canopy is a crystal-clear injected piece, not vacuform. Markings are for two hypothetical aircraft, both rather colorful: a natural-metal aircraft of the 244th Sentai, with a bright blue tail and lightning bolt down the fuselage, and a mottled aircraft also of the 244th, this time with a red tail and red and yellow stripes down the fuselage.
