Its design gave it a slimmer nose profile than most Japanese aircraft, leading Allied pilots to mistake it for German or Italian fighters during early encounters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Type 3 Fighter saw service from 1943 and fought in New Guinea, China, the Philippines, and the defence of Japan. The Model 1 Tei variant featured improved armament and structure, making it one of the key versions used in front line combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild the fuselage, wings, and tail using plastic model glue.
