Tamiya 25420 Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien (Tony) Silver Plated 1/72

Tamiya 25420 Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien (Tony) Silver Plated 1/72 is a unique plastic assembly aircraft model in the popular 1/72 scale. This product is designed for the most demanding modelers who value high-quality workmanship and attractive design. The model stands out with its factory-applied, impressive silver plating, perfectly imitating the metallic surface of the original without the need for additional metallic paints.

The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien aircraft, known by the Allied code name "Tony," was one of the most important fighter planes of the Imperial Japanese Air Force during World War II. The aircraft entered service in 1943 and was actively used until the end of the war in 1945. Ki-61 aircraft were stationed both on the Japanese home islands and in the Pacific, defending Japan against air raids or undertaking escort and bomber cover missions.

The Tamiya model is a faithful miniature of the Japanese design, accurately replicating the detailed elements of the fuselage, wings, and landing gear. The kit includes high-quality plastic parts made using precise injection molding techniques. Thanks to the factory-applied Silver Plated coating, even less advanced modelers can achieve a stunning, realistic metal surface effect. The set also includes decals that enable you to create several historic paint schemes of Japanese WWII aces.
