Hasegawa 07404 Kawasaki Ki61-I Tei 3 Hien in 1/48 - classic WWII subject

The Hasegawa 07404 kit captures the Kawasaki Ki61-I Tei 3 fighter, widely known as Hien and nicknamed "Tony" by Allied aircrews. This release bundles the fighter with a Type 95 Kurogane 4WD small sedan and a 244th Flight Regiment figure, enabling builders to assemble a small period scene.

Scale realism and notable features

Notable for its liquid-cooled inline engine, the Ki61 had a different look and flight profile to many Japanese types of the period. This accurate 1/48 model reflects those traits, with parts designed to reproduce the aircrafts distinctive silhouette. The support vehicle enhances the overall historical presentation.

Assembly difficulty and display potential

Geared toward modellers with intermediate skills, the kit offers well-defined parts and clear assembly paths. Attention to seam work and painting will pay off, producing a compact, museum-style model suitable for desktops or display cases.
