Hasegawa 1/48 Kawasaki Ki61-I Type 3 Fighter Hien - Product Overview

The Hasegawa 1/48 Kawasaki Ki61-I Type 3 Fighter, nicknamed the Hien or Tony, is offered here as a scale kit that reflects the aircraft's slim profile and inline engine character. The model delivers clear moulded detail for accurate recreation at 1/48 scale.

Historical Significance and Modelling Merit

The Ki61-I Hien was notable during the Second World War for its inline powerplant and performance. Hasegawa's kit emphasises those distinguishing elements, making it an appealing subject for collectors of wartime Japanese aircraft.

Assembly Considerations and Display Use

The kit features detailed panel lines and a defined cockpit area that respond well to careful painting and weathering. Once complete, the model is well suited to display cases or themed diorama scenes focusing on period operations.
