Tasked with defending the home islands from B-29s and carrier aircraft, its combination of speed, firepower, and manoeuvrability led the U.S. military to deem it the best all-around Japanese fighter of WWII after post-war evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/48 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of this powerful late-war fighter.
