The Hasegawa 1/72 scale trio includes the Shidenkai, Hien and Zero Fighter Type 21, providing a compact but detailed snapshot of Japanese wartime aircraft. These kits balance historical fidelity with clean part engineering, making them appealing to those who research as well as build.

Roles in Pacific operations

The A6M Zero earned a reputation for nimble handling and long patrol range. The Ki-61 Hien introduced a liquid-cooled inline engine to Japanese designs, offering different performance traits. The N1K2-J Shidenkai combined heavy armament and rugged airframe characteristics, reflecting diverse tactical uses.

Assembly tips and presentation ideas

Hasegawa parts generally fit well, but careful trimming and test-fitting will improve results. The 1/72 scale is ideal for grouping multiple aircraft in a single display, and subtle weathering enhances realism without obscuring fine detail.
