Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien (Tony) Silver Plated and Decals - 1/72 Tamiya

This TAMIYA 1/72 scale plastic model kit accurately depicts the Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien. The Hien was officially adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1943 and stood out among its Japanese aircraft contemporaries in the Pacific War on account of its liquid-cooled Ha-40 engine, slimline fuselage and long, elegant wing. A number of different variants were produced, among them the Ki-61-Id which featured a 20cm-elongated nose to house 20mm cannons, plus 12.7mm machine guns in the wing. In fact, with 1,360 units it was the most prolifically produced Hien variant; its superior performance at higher altitudes meant that it was often given the brief of taking on incoming U.S. B29 bombers in the skies around the home islands of Japan.
This special limited-edition includes molded parts in matte silver color plating to represent the bare duralumin seen on aircraft such as the 244th Air Group (Option B in the kit), and camouflage decals included that were previously sold separately.

Paints and glue sold separately.
