Zegeye has kindly shared these images of his test build of the new 1/72 scale Arma Hobby Ki-43-II Hayabusa kit. He reports that the test sprues were almost ready but still lacked some details such as trim tabs and therefore production is delayed. Aftermarket decals were used on this model as Hiko Dai 24 Sentai is not a kit markings option.
Zegeye applied Colourcoats Nakajima Army Green to the upper surfaces and Mr Color C8 Silver Metallic Gloss to the under surfaces. Aotake elements were from Gunze and Aeromaster Acrylics Warbirds Colors Nakajima Interior Green was used for the cockpit. Drop tanks are Gunze C128 IJA Grey Green.
One to look forward to. With special thanks to Zegeye for sharing these images of his excellent model.

Thanks Zegeye, thanks Nick - quite impressive! It really looks the part, and it's a beautiful build.
Hello sir and thanks as always for your tireless efforts on the best blog. Love to see a furfure post on colors on this beastie. Happy holidays, Scott
Thank you Nick and Zegeye for this preview! I have one on order (with extra sprues and 3D-printed details) waiting for the definitive release. Can't wait to compare it to the venerable Hasegawa kit, that I am still fond of.
Thanks for posting all of this, I cannot wait to get my kits!
A round of applause to the Arma Hobby team for creating the definitive Ki43 in the "one true scale"
Thanks to Zegeye and Nick for the exciting inspiration!
Thanks Zegeye and Nick for sharing! I can't wait to get my copy with extra sprues and 3D parts!
Nice build!
I do have my doubts with a few details of this kit, such as the canopy and the gun tubes, but overall it looks pretty nice.
