Compatibility
This instrument panel is designed specifically for detailing 1/72 scale plastic models of the Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate. It is fully compatible with model kits of this aircraft, including products from Sword, ensuring a perfect fit for the cockpit.
Application and Assembly
This product is designed to replace the standard, often less detailed, instrument panel in plastic models, raising the overall level of detail.
