Kawasaki Ki61-I Tei Hien (Tony) in 1/72 by Hasegawa

This Hasegawa 1/72 kit recreates the Kawasaki Ki61-I Tei Hien, commonly called "Tony", in compact scale. It is designed for hobbyists who want a faithful miniature of this WWII fighter, with attention to historical profile and surface detail.

Operational context and modelling interest

The Ki61-I Tei was notable among Japanese fighters for its inline, liquid cooled engine layout, a point of interest for modellers studying wartime aircraft design. The kit highlights the aircrafts engineering cues and gives a good platform for display pieces representing Pacific conflict scenes.

Detailing, fit and build notes

Hasegawa supplies finely cast parts that show cockpit fittings and panel lines clearly. Builders should expect a moderately challenging build suited to those with prior kit experience, producing a neat 1/72 scale replica when assembled and painted carefully.
