Description
The Nakajima Ki-84 "Hayate" (キ84 疾風"Gale"?) was a single-seat fighter used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in World War II. The Allied reporting name was "Frank"; the Japanese Army designation was Army Type 4 Fighter (四式戦闘機 yon-shiki-sentō-ki?). Featuring excellent performance and high maneuverability, the Ki-84 was considered to be the best Japanese fighter to see large scale operations during World War II.[1] It was able to match any Allied fighter, and to intercept the high-flying B-29 Superfortresses.[2] Its powerful armament (that could include two 30 mm and two 20 mm cannon) increased its lethality.[3] Though hampered by poor production quality in later models, a high-maintenance engine, a landing gear prone to buckle,[2] and lack of experienced pilots above all else, Hayates proved to be fearsome opponents; a total of 3,514 were buil

I'm not seeing any evidence of the Ki-84's ability to match Allied fighters past 1944, but nonetheless an Impressive piece of mechanical artwork.

Great work! ...and it was no knock off of the P-47, which was far heavier and wth a more powerful engine than any Japanese fighter. Somewhat similar looking, however.

Such a scary realism in conjunction with our world affairs. This and your other works have such an off-balance symmetry that just adds to the depiction of aerial combat.

Always brings the following phrase to my mind:
"Forget it, it's a Frank."

In IL2 and War Thunder, this plane has served me well, the lc or Hei variant could rip US fighters apart, Heavy Armor, Self sealing tanks meant nothing against a direct hit from 20mm cannons with 30mm cannons, along with the N1K this plane served Japan well in the later war years.

Japanese name was Hayate(Gale), after WW2 one was tested in the US. It was tested with high octane fuel, the top speed was 426mph.

As a WWII history buff, your narrative and artistic skill is superb. The field of depth in this pic is quite effective.
Keep up the good work.

I don't know why, but there's something about the WWII era that drives me emotionally. Maybe I am a reincarnated soldier. LOL I am amazed to see how realistically you've done the plane and the clouds. Very well done

WII is the center of great attention for many people in terms of the reality of the time but also the fiction that has spawned from it. It was the greatest war in mankind's history, so it's no surprise.

Can you refer me any good tutorials you refer. It would be of great help

That's what Japan should have started the war with, not the Ki 43 with its puny armament and lack of armor. I realize the tech curve was not there in the late 30s early 40s but it seems like none of the axis powers were able to develop next generation aircraft like the allies did.
Awesome art!

I assume the Ki 43 then was the original 'Zero' that attacked Pearl Harbor. Do you know why they were nicknamed 'Zekes'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Ki-43 was the Army's main fighter at the staert of the Pacific War and the Zero was the Navy's main one. US gave male or female names to help in recognition...A6M Zero was called "Zeke", the Zero's Navy predecessor the A5M was called "Claude". The Ki-61 was nicknamed "Tony", and the Ki-43 Peregrine Falcon had the allied code-name "Oscar" for example.
