Hello, aircraft and military fans! Today we’re introducing a slightly niche, yet irresistibly charming plastic model: the “Type 1 Army Fighter Hayabusa Model I, 1st Flight Regiment - Vietnam Falcon”! If just hearing the name gives you a sense of romance, this may be fate calling you.

This kit represents more than just a “plane.” It recreates the 1st Flight Regiment, the Imperial Japanese Army’s first fighter unit that gained fame in battles such as the Nomonhan Incident. The ace pilots who left their mark on history bravely soared through the skies over intense southern fronts like Malaya, Rabaul, and New Guinea. This particular model depicts the famous aircraft piloted by Major Kinshirō Takeda, stationed at Hanoi base! With its eye-catching color scheme, it stood out boldly even in the air.

The scale is 1/144. Think that’s too small? Don’t be fooled. This size makes it perfect for display, collecting, and even play! Plus, it generously includes two planes per box. The parts fit together precisely, so even beginners can assemble them smoothly. The way it comes together as swiftly as a falcon is part of what makes this kit so fun!

The decals are by Cartograf, the renowned Italian company beloved by modelers. It includes markings for nine aircraft! Of course, Major Takeda’s flashy version is included too. This alone doubles the excitement of assembling the kit. That moment when the fighter comes to life—it's simply exhilarating!

And...... don’t miss the box art! The specially drawn illustration by Yukihisa Fujita is filled with Hanoi vibes. NASA-chan in an ao dai, local cats, and flight crew munching on watermelon—what an adorable contrast! This laid-back touch actually enhances the sense of wartime atmosphere. Plus, NASA-chan’s outfit comes randomly in either pink or white—an extra surprise to look forward to!

Historical context, realistic detail, ease of assembly, and cute elements—this “Vietnam Falcon” is the ultimate “fun model kit”! Whether you're a veteran or beginner modeler, its charm resonates with everyone. Display it, admire it, and tell its story—let this one model be the beginning of your new “sky saga.”
