Description

[Machine Translation] In December 1937, after the Type 97 Nakajima fighter (Ki-27) was formally adopted, the Army ordered Nakajima Corporation to develop a prototype of the next fighter (Ki-43). The first prototype was completed in December of the following year, and test flights showed that although its maximum speed was 30 km/h faster than that of the Type 97 fighter, its mobility was inferior and it lacked power as a next-generation fighter. Various modifications were subsequently made, including changes to the wing area and replacement of the engine, and by September 1940, 13 aircraft (3 prototypes and 10 additional prototypes) had been completed, but they failed to convince the military, which was focused on combat warfare. However, at that time, the General Staff believed that a fighter with a large range to support the fleet was necessary for the invasion of Singapore, and the Ki-43, which was on the verge of being labeled a failure, found a way to be used as a long-range fighter. In April 1941, a modified version was tested, and since it had the required cruising capability and was superior in vertical combat, it was formally adopted as an all-in-one fighter in May 1941, and from June to August of the same year, approximately 30 Type I aircraft were received by the 59th squadron. The Hayabusa I was deployed mainly in the Burma area and contributed greatly to the initial success of the war. The Type I fighter II was equipped with a Ha-115 engine, a refined fuselage design, and improved performance. When the Type II was deployed in combat, it fought with superiority against the Buffalo, Hurricane, P-40, etc., but had a hard time against the later Spitfire and P-38. However, it was the easiest to handle among the Army's fighters at the time, and its operating rate was high, so it continued to be mass-produced until the end of the war.

1/32 中島 一式戦 隼

中島97式戦闘機(キ27)が制式採用となった昭和12年12月、陸軍は中島1社に対して次期戦闘機(キ43)の試作指示を出しました。 翌年の12月試作1号機が完成、テスト飛行の結果、97式戦闘機と比較して最大速度が30km/hほど上回るものの、運動性が劣り次期戦闘機としては力不足でした。 その後、翼面積の変更、エンジンの換装などいろいろな改修がおこなわれ、昭和15年9月までに13機(試作機3、増加試作機10)が完成しましたが、格闘戦至上主義の軍を納得させることは出来ませんでした。 しかし、そのころ参謀本部では南方侵攻作戦でシンガポール攻略には船団を援護する大航続力の戦闘機が必要と考えており、不合格のレッテルを貼られる寸前のキ43に、遠距離戦闘機として活路が見いだされたのです。 昭和16年4月には改修機がテストされ要求の航続力も得られ、また、格闘戦も垂直面では優れていたため昭和16年5月一式戦闘機として制式採用が決まり、同年の6月から8月にかけて約30機のI型を飛行第59戦隊が受領しました。 隼I型は主にビルマ方面に投入され緒戦の快進撃におおいに貢献したのです。 一式戦闘機II型はエンジンをハ115に換装、機体デザインが洗練され、諸性能の向上を図ったタイプで、II型が実戦配備となるとバッファロー、ハリケーン、P-40等を相手に優位に戦っていましたが、後のスピットファイア、P-38などには苦戦を強いられました。 しかし、当時陸軍戦闘機の中でもっとも取り扱いが容易で、稼働率も高かったため終戦まで量産が続けられました。【実機データ】 乗員:1名、全幅:10.84m、全長:8.92m(水平姿勢)、全高:3.27m(水平姿勢)、主翼面積:21.4m2、全備重量:2,590kg、エンジン:中島 ハ115、離昇出力:1,120hp、最大速度:515km/h/6,000m、武装:12.7mm機関砲x2 ■パーツ数 … 94
