172 Kawasaki Ki61Id Hien Tony Silver Color Plated w/ Camo Decals

Tamiya - 1:72 Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien (Tony) (Silver Color Plated w/ Camo Decals)

The Hien was officially adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) 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 this kit, parts are given a special metal-plated finish.
