RS Models 48006 1/48 Manshu Ki-79 B

Nakajima delivered production jigs for the Ki-27 to Manshu HikÌ_ki SeizÌ_ KK in Charbin. There, production continued and gave another 1,379 aircraft. Manshu proceeded with the further development of this type, and so a training aircraft appears, on which pilots could train and switch to the combat type without having to change the habits they acquired during training. Because the training aircraft required an overpowered engine, a weaker power unit was installed and the cockpit was now open. The installation of a smaller and lighter engine shifted the center of gravity of the aircraft backwards, so it was necessary to extend the front of the fuselage by 200 mm.

The volume of the fuel tanks was reduced because the new engine had lower fuel consumption. The aerodynamic bonnets were launched and there was a fixed spur wheel at the end of the fuselage. In 1942, the Rikugun Koku Hombu adopted this type into the state under the designation: "continuing training aircraft type 2". The Manshu factory supplied two versions: the Ki-79a KÌ_ in a single-seater version, powered by an air-cooled star nine-cylinder Hitachi Ha-13a 1 cylinder with a take-off power of 515 horsepower. The two-seater version differed in the installed seats in a row and was designated Ki-79b Otsu. The single-seat Ki-79a was armed with a single machine gun Type 89 caliber 7.7 mm.

The two-seater version flew without weapons. The serial Ki-79a Ko and Ki-79b Otsu were used by many training units in Japan and the occupied countries. The Allies did not assign any code name to this type, as they judged that these were still variants of the fighter "Nate". the drive was provided by an air-cooled star nine-cylinder cylinder Hitachi Ha-13a 1 with a take-off power of 515 horsepower.
