The extraordinary Ken-3 multi-material kit makes a triumphant return, drawing significant attention with the revelation of the previously elusive development films. Known for its iconic status as "Japan's Fastest Wings," the Ken-3 was developed by the Japanese Army during World War II. Only one unit was created, making it a rare and valuable model for aviation enthusiasts.
Designed with speed in mind, the Ken-3 played a crucial role in studying high-speed flight for fighter aircraft design and speed record setting. It features a compact and sharp aesthetic, emphasizing its aerodynamic capabilities. The aircraft's first flight occurred in December 1942, and after extensive test flights at the Kakamigahara Airfield in Gifu Prefecture, it achieved an impressive record speed of 699.9 km/h on December 27, 1943. This remarkable feat solidified its place as the fastest domestically produced piston-engine aircraft in Japan.
