Description
The Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu (“Dragonslayer”) is a two-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter used by the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II. The army gave it the designation “Type 2 Two-Seat Fighter”; the Allied reporting name was “Nick“. Originally serving as a long-range escort-fighter, the design – as with most heavy fighters of the period – fell prey to smaller, lighter, more agile single-engine fighters. As such, the Ki-45 instead served as a day and nighttime interceptor and strike fighter.
Set consists of 8 fine metal models.
