The Hayate emerged from a war-torn Japan as fully the equal of the most advanced allied fighters; even wielding a deadlier armament and superior manoeuvrability. Designed to mimic the American's shift away from turnfighters towards powerful, armoured diving fighters, the Hayate proved so successful that the Japanese rushed manufacturing, building factories hidden in mountainous caves. This was a critical error, quality problems emerged as a massive flaw in combat.

40th upvote & very good plane!
@Weaverfish That's why, great work ^^
@Mainblocks yeah, you'd do it manually. It takes me a good 4-5 hours for every cockpit :(
@Weaverfish Yes, but how ? I don't see any thing that may be able to do, its seem that i need to do this manualy tho'.
@Mainblocks just the finetuner mod.
@Weaverfish Thanks to the reply, yes its basically what i said. ^^
Another question, how do you theses perfect joints on your cokcpit ? What are you using ?
@Mainblocks I decided to go for the KI-84 over the KI100 simply because the KI84 was produced in far greater numbers, the KI100 was a pretty rare sight in combat. I wanted to represent a countries most numerous, best fighter for the mid war timeline.

Quick note : The Ki-100 is unknow to most of the public but, he was superior to any american and japaneses design of its time. Yes, he was superior to the Ki-84.
Btw, @Weaverfish great build again. I wonder were you get the name of theses gunsights. Any sources.
IIIIIIIIIII LOVE THIS PLANE KI-44 NEXT PLEASE THIS IS AMAZING sorry just hyped u actually made this
where's my order?
Nicely made and somehow better than mine~
Yee, my favourite Japanese plane!
I’ve always thought the ki-84 was a Japanese Fw-190 produced under license, but I know it’s not
These new planes are fantastic.
Very cool, love this one.
nice job!
Great
