Historical description of the Ki-61-Id aircraft

The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien (“Swallow”) was a Japanese fighter that entered service during World War II, serving with the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. It stood out thanks to its inline engine, unusual for Japanese designs, and well-designed armor, which made it a worthy opponent for Allied aircraft in the Pacific theater. The Id version was one of the latest variants, used, among others, during the battles over Okinawa and in the defense of the Japanese home islands between 1943 and 1945.

Main features of the Eduard 648316 set

The set includes two exhaust elements made from highly detailed resin, faithfully replicating the real exhaust pipe arrangement of the Ki-61-Id. Assembly requires little effort, and thanks to its excellent fit with the Tamiya model, the end result greatly enhances the authenticity of the miniature. The product does not require immediate painting straight out of the box, but can be freely finished with modeling paints to achieve burn marks or signs of use.

Who do we recommend this set for?

Eduard 648316 is recommended for both intermediate and advanced aircraft modelers who want to elevate the realism of their Tamiya 1/48 scale models. The build difficulty is rated at 2 on a scale of 1–5 – assembly will pose no problem for those with basic modeling experience. It is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of Japanese aviation and modelers who value striking details.
