Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien, Tamiya 1/72

by Istvan Havril on July 2, 2021 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Finished this little kit in 2020. What can I say, this is the best kit I ever built, absolutely superb. No filling required. Painted with AK Real Colors and Alclad II paints.

Hasegawa Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien 1:48

by Brian Kirwan on April 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Here is one I finished up last year ; its Hasegawa's 1/48 Ki-61-i Tei Hien . I bought it as part of a double boxing along with its sister Ki-100 I Otsu. I finished it up as a Chinese Nationalist aircraft just to have a different one from [...]

Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien / Tony, Otaki

by Bob Dudolevitch on January 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

My second post features and old Otaki Ki-61 (from the mid-70s). It's a very basic kit, but it goes together well, and seems accurate in scale and shape. I think there is a lot of life in the 1970s Japanese kits, even though the lack of [...]

by Louis Gardner on March 18, 2019 · in Aviation · 45 ≡

This is a model that I finished up a few days ago. It also happens to be my favorite Japanese fighter from the War. It's so elegant and streamlined... I call it the "Japanese Spitfire". The Tamiya model fit together perfectly, [...]

Kawasaki Ki61/Hien (Tony)

by Djordje Colovic on October 17, 2018 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

My first attempt in metallic finishes, many lessons learned, many more yet to learn. Didn't use rondel decals, line decals etc... I've made them by masks I've previously made. Excellent fit and details. Every comment is welcomed [...]

Earlier this afternoon my Hien arrived. Here's a photo of the box end... Needless to say, I am very excited about it! This new kit can be summed up in one word. FANTASTIC! Tamiya has produced another 1/48 scale masterpiece. As [...]

Fujimi 1/70 Kawasaki KI-61 Hien (Tony)

by Joe Caputo on January 19, 2015 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This ancient kit (note:1/70) was given to me by a "friend" who had no need to add this relic to his collection and chose not to throw it away. Since I had no WWII Japanese aircraft in my 1/72 collection, I thought I would play [...]
