Hasegawa 1/48 Kawasaki Ki61-I Type 3 Fighter Hien - Model Summary

The Hasegawa 1/48 Kawasaki Ki61-I Type 3 Fighter model, known as the Hien or Tony, offers a compact but detailed build for enthusiasts. The kit brings the Ki61-I's slim fuselage and inline engine profile to life at 1/48 scale.

War Service and Scale Appeal

The Kawasaki Ki61-I Hien saw action across several fronts in the Second World War and was notable for its inline engine among Japanese fighters. Hasegawa's tooling preserves those key design traits so modellers can replicate historically recognisable features.

Assembly Notes and Presentation

Parts are moulded to emphasise panel lines and cockpit structure, making painting and finishing straightforward for those used to 1/48 builds. When finished, the model makes a convincing addition to a wartime aircraft display.
