Kawasaki Ki-102 – the Japanese ground-attack plane

The Kawasaki Ki-102 (Army Type 4 assault aircraft) was a Japanese warplane of World War II. It was a twin-engine, two-seat, long-range heavy fighter, developed to replace the Ki-45 “Toryu”. Three versions were planned: the Ki-102a - day fighter, Ki-102b ground-attack and Ki-102c - night fighter. This aircraft's Allied reporting name was "Randy". The Ki-102 entered service in 1944, but saw limited action. The main type (102b) was kept in reserve to protect Japan, although it did see some limited duty in the Okinawa campaign. It was kept out of front line service, because it was hoped, that it would be the carrier of the Igo-1-B air-to-ground guided missile, when the Allied invasion of Japan occurred.

The model is carefully designed and very detailed, so it is only suitable for intermediate and advanced modelers. Perfectly detailed models of engines, landing gear and its niches, interior of cabins, there is a reserve of colors, where necessary, the details are printed with double-sided printing, traces of the operation of a little-used airplane are visible only on light surfaces.
