Product Description
――Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien is the only liquid-cooled fighter among the Japanese fighters that were active in the Pacific War.
――As a result of efforts to reduce air resistance and weight, it was completed as a well-balanced aircraft that can maximize both speed and mobility, and was officially adopted in 1943.
――However, the crying point of this machine was the inadequacy of production due to the lack of basic industrial power and the malfunction of the Ha40 liquid-cooled engine due to unfamiliarity with maintenance.
――Still, you have achieved good results in the Philippines, New Guinea, and the mainland air defense battles.
――Especially in the mainland air defense battle, we are struggling against the B-29 because we have maintained a high operating rate due to the stable supply of parts and the work of veteran maintenance personnel, and the high altitude performance was better than other Japanese aircraft.
――In particular, in the 244th Air Squadron, the youngest squadron in the history of the Army, Captain Teruhiko Kobayashi, showed a fierce battle, and by the end of the war, more than 160 B-29s were shot down, boasting the best results of the unit. ..
-The kit reproduces the type C escort. The highlights are the density of engraving suitable for 1/32 scale and the reproduction of the cockpit composed of many parts.
――Familiar large girder parts are used for the mounting parts of the main wing and fuselage, so reliable positioning is possible.
--There are two types of windshields, a one-piece type for the closed state and a three-piece type for the open state.
-A sitting posture figure is included.
--There are two types of head parts, with and without an oxygen mask.
--Decals are Captain Teruhiko Kobayashi, Captain of the 244th Air Squadron [295] (Chofu Airport: January 1945) and two other types.
