25420 Tamiya 1/72 Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien (Tony) Silver Color Plated (w/Camo Decals)
Additional Information
the Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien ("flying swallow") was a Japanese world war II fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese army air service. The Japanese army designation was "army type 3 fighter". Allied pilots initially believed the Ki-61s to be the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and later the Italian Macchi C. 202, which led to the allied name "Tony" being assigned by the United States war Department.< / p>
It was the only production Japanese fighter that used a liquid-cooled V-engine. More than 3,000 Ki-61s were produced. The original prototypes saw action over Yokohama during the Doolittle RAID on 18 April 1942 and continued to perform combat missions throughout the war.< / p>
