1:48 Tamiya 25424 IJA Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien Silver Plane Plastic Model kit

Bring the elegance, engineering and combat heritage of the Pacific War to life with the 1:48 Tamiya 25424 IJA Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien Silver Plane. This stunning plastic model kit recreates one of Japan’s most distinctive fighters: the only WWII Japanese aircraft powered by a liquid-cooled engine. Its Ha40 powerplant, a licensed Daimler-Benz DB601, gave the Hien its sleek nose, long refined wings and outstanding high-altitude performance.

This special Silver Edition from Tamiya elevates the build thanks to beautifully plated parts that replicate the metallic finish of the real aircraft with remarkable realism. At Most-Models.com profiteer je van snelle levering en uitstekende service, zodat je direct aan dit unieke project kunt beginnen.

The Ki-61-Id variant featured a 20 cm extended nose housing twin 20 mm cannons, supported by 12.7 mm wing-mounted machine guns. Built in significant numbers and deployed to intercept powerful U.S. B-29 bombers, the Hien became a key asset in Japan’s air defense. Units such as the famed 244th Air Group under Captain Teruhiko Kobayashi achieved notoriety flying this elegant but deadly fighter. With this kit you’re not just building a model—you’re recreating a legend.

This highly detailed kit includes a faithfully reproduced Ha40 engine with supercharger, intricate cockpit components, optional open or closed canopy, and decals for two marking schemes including spot camouflage. Two drop tanks and a seated pilot figure complete the setup, giving you everything you need to create a museum-worthy display.
