About product

Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien Tony (1:48, Tamiya)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Japanese Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien fighter, known to the Allies under the nickname Tony, in 1:48 scale from the Japanese manufacturer Tamiya. The model precisely captures the elongated nose and the slender fuselage of the Id version and offers a canopy that can be built open or closed as well as drop tanks. Check the exact contents of the package against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

The Ki-61 Hien was exceptional in that it was the only Japanese fighter in the Pacific war to use a liquid-cooled inverted V12 Ha-40 engine, a licensed derivative of the German Daimler-Benz. Because of that it was at first mistaken for a German and then for an Italian machine, which earned it the Allied code name Tony. The Ki-61-Id version carried two 20 mm cannons and belonged to the late production batches of the type.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with thin cement for plastic; paint the cockpit with its ammunition boxes and oil tank before closing the fuselage. The glazing can be assembled open or closed — glue it with canopy cement. Japanese fighters carried various schemes from bare metal to green camouflage; after gloss varnish and decals, bring out the panel lines with a wash and add fine wear.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Japanese fighters of the Second World War
  • Modelers with experience of building in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in an unusual Japanese machine with a V engine

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
