Tamiya 25203 - 1/48 Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien (Tony) & 4x4 Type 95 Kurogane Modellers Set  [25203]

Combined 1/48 Modelling Set: Ki-61-Id Hien and Type 95 Kurogane

This twin kit brings together a wartime fighter and a light utility vehicle, giving modellers two authentic Japanese subjects from World War II. The pairing works well for mixed displays and small dioramas.

Key Traits of the Ki-61-Id Hien Fighter

Notable for its liquid-cooled engine, the Ki-61-Id Hien differs from many contemporaries with its streamlined forward fuselage. The armament setup on this variant includes 20mm cannon in the nose and 12.7mm machine guns in the wings for heavy-hitting firepower.

The kit in 1/48 scale includes replicated engine details, ammo storage, and an oil cooler. Options include fitting the canopy open or closed and removing the upper cowling to reveal the engine after build. Masking stickers help with accurate canopy painting, and two marking choices represent aircraft from the 244th Air Group.

Type 95 Kurogane - Purpose Built 4x4

The small Type 95 Kurogane fulfilled reconnaissance and liaison roles across multiple theatres. This model captures the vehicle's compact design, provides decals and metal transfer options, and includes figures for the driver and a commander to enhance scenes.
