Hasegawa 1/48 Kawasaki Ki61-I Type 3 Fighter Hien - Kit Introduction

The Hasegawa 1/48 Kawasaki Ki61-I Type 3 Fighter kit, commonly called the Hien or Tony, is engineered for modellers who prioritise scale accuracy. The design reproduces the Ki61's narrow fuselage and inline engine form in fine 1/48 detail.

Combat Role and Enthusiast Interest

The Ki61-I Hien earned a reputation in WWII for its distinctive powerplant and handling. This Hasegawa kit mirrors the aircraft's external lines and is well suited to builders interested in mid-war Japanese aviation subjects.

Construction Tips and Showcase Potential

The parts show well-defined panel lines and a compact cockpit layout that reward careful painting. Completed models present strongly on shelves or as part of themed displays, especially when paired with period decals.
