Product introduction 1/72 scale plastic model. The Type 4 Fighter Shippu (Key 84) is a fighter aircraft produced by Nakajima, the prestigious company that produced the 97 Sen (Key 27), Hayabusa (Key 43), and Shoki (Key 44) main army fighters. Equipped with a horsepower-class Ha-45 engine, it had excellent speed and maneuverability, as well as powerful armament and bullet resistance. When it was decided to adopt the system at the end of March 1945, it was produced under the name Greater East Asia Battle Machine and fought hard in the defense of mainland China, the Philippines, Okinawa, and the mainland. Particularly in mainland China, the aircraft was on par with the likes of the P-51, and was so successful that it temporarily regained air superiority. However, after mass production began, problems arose due to poor quality of materials and workmanship, resulting in poor engine performance, but despite these adverse conditions, approximately 3,500 aircraft, including the Zero Fighter and Hayabusa, were produced. . After the war, the Shippu was tested in the United States and was praised as ``the best Japanese fighter plane that appeared in the Pacific War.''
