This kit faithfully recreates the Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien fighter used by the Imperial Japanese Army between 1943 and 1945, which was the most intense period of combat in the Pacific. In this version of the Hien – type Id – the aircraft features an elongated nose housing 20 mm cannons and enhanced machine gun armament, making it a very formidable adversary for the American B-29 bombers conducting air raids over Japan.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/48 – an ideal balance between detail fidelity and display convenience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan; historically used by the 244th Air Group under the command of Captain Teruhiko Kobayashi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II (especially 1943-1945).\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality plastic.
