Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc

Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The Tachikawa Ki-94 was a single-seat fighter-Interceptor aircraft project undertaken by the Tachikawa Aircraft Company and to be operated by the Imperial Japanese Army. The project refers to two aircraft designs: the Ki-94-I and the Ki-94-II. The Ki-94-I design (this kit) was to be a twin-boom monoplane with two 2,201 hp Mitsubishi Ha211 18-cylinder engines, driving two 4-blade propellers in a push-pull configuration. The very heavy armament of two 37 mm/1.46 in and two 30 mm/1.18 in cannon should have been enough to make short work of most US heavy bombers of the era. Notwithstanding the outstanding prospective performance, it was judged as 'unduly optimistic' by the technical department of the Japanese Army Air Force and was discarded.
