The aircraft was designed in 1941–1942 and stood out by the use of a liquid-cooled inline engine – the Kawasaki Ha-40, which was based on the German Daimler-Benz DB 601 under license. The Ki-61 Id took part in combat over the Pacific, New Guinea, the Philippines, and in the defense of the Japanese homeland from 1943 to 1945. It was used by the Imperial Japanese Army primarily as an escort fighter and interceptor against B-29 bombers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating country:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II (1943–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upgrade set, resin accessories for plastic models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e A complete, highly detailed Ki-61 engine, additional components – wires, engine bay parts, panel covers; some details are made of photo-etched metal for the highest level of realism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engine offered by Aires is significantly more detailed than the factory one provided in the TAMIYA kit – it features precise details that accurately reproduce even the smallest components of the Ki-61 powerplant.
