The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien, codenamed “Tony” by the Allies, was a Japanese WWII fighter aircraft known for its inline liquid-cooled engine, giving it a distinctive appearance compared to other Japanese fighters. This Tamiya 1/48 scale kit accurately reproduces the Ki-61-Id variant with fine surface detailing, realistic cockpit features, and historically accurate markings.
- Accurately moulded fuselage with crisp panel lines

Introduced in 1943, the Ki-61-Id Hien was deployed in both defensive and offensive roles, including homeland defence against Allied bombing raids. Powered by a licensed Daimler-Benz DB 601 engine, it offered higher speed and better climb performance than many contemporaries. This model kit allows aviation enthusiasts to recreate one of Japan’s most unique and effective WWII fighters with precision and authenticity.
