This TAMIYA scale plastic model kit accurately depicts the Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien. The Hien had been officially used by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1943, and endured out among its Japanese aircraft contemporaries inside Pacific War due to its liquid-cooled Ha-40 motor, slimline fuselage and long, elegant wing. Several different variants had been produced, among them the Ki-61-Id which showcased a 20cm-elongated nose to house 20mm cannons, plus 12.7mm machine guns into the wing. Actually, with 1,360 devices it had been the most prolifically produced Hien variant; its superior performance at greater altitudes suggested that it was frequently provided the brief of taking on incoming U.S. B29 bombers in the skies round the home islands of Japan.
This unique limited-edition includes molded components in matte silver color plating to express the bare duralumin seen on aircraft for instance the 244th Air Group (choice B into the kit), and camouflage decals included that have been previously sold individually.
