Hasegawa 1/72 Set of Shidenkai, Hien and Zero Fighters

The Hasegawa 1/72 set brings together the Shidenkai, Hien and Zero Fighter Type 21 for modellers interested in WWII Japanese aircraft. These kits combine historically informed shapes with precise moulding, allowing faithful representations once completed.

Historical profiles and realism

The A6M Zero is noted for its manoeuvrability and operational range, whereas the Ki-61 Hien introduced different engineering choices with its liquid-cooled powerplant. The N1K2-J Shidenkai offered a potent mix of firepower and rugged build. Together they represent key developments in Japanese fighter design.

Scale modelling and presentation

Hasegawa's 1/72 scale keeps parts compact while retaining crisp detail, making these models suitable for cabinets and group displays. Careful painting and decal work will produce attractive museum-style models or diorama subjects.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Aftermarket items like photoetched sets and resin cockpits can enhance detail, but the stock kits are complete and buildable without extras.
Test-fit parts before gluing, clean mould lines carefully, and assemble subcomponents like cockpits and undercarriage separately for easier painting.
Yes, the 1/72 scale is a common standard, so these models will sit well alongside other aircraft from the same period for comparative displays.
