Tamiya is delighted to announce the addition of a new subject to the 1/48 scale Aircraft Series – the Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien, which was the only Pacific War fighter on the Japanese roster with a liquid-cooled engine. The timing is particularly auspicious, as Kawasaki Heavy Industries is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year and exhibited a restored Ki-61-II Hien in Japan. The Ki-61-Id variant depicted by the Tamiya kit was the most prolifically produced Hien, and there is plenty for modelers to look forward as it accurately renders the graceful, large-wingspan form with aplomb, also capturing the Ha-40 with supercharger. Come and find out more at Tamiya Fair 2016, which takes place from November 19th.
