Hasegawa 1/72 Kawasaki Ki61-I Tei Hien (Tony) replica

Hasegawa presents a 1/72 scale model of the Kawasaki Ki61-I Tei Hien, often called "Tony". This kit focuses on delivering accurate shapes and surface detailing that suit display model builds and collection shelves.

Historical context and modelling relevance

The Ki61-I Tei was unusual among Japanese fighters due to its inline liquid cooled engine, which affected its nose profile and handling. The kit gives modellers a chance to recreate that distinctive aircraft from the Pacific campaigns.

Construction notes and detail level

With precisely moulded components, the kit shows cockpit fittings and panel lines clearly. It is aimed at builders with some prior experience and offers a rewarding assembly that results in a convincing 1/72 scale model.
