1/48 Ki-61 Hei

by John Healy on May 1, 2025 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

This is Hasegawa’s short nose Tony kit. On 27 Jan 45, Teruhiko Kobayashi survived a ramming attack on a B-29 flying this plane. Kobayashi bailed out and the B-29 was destroyed. For this mission, the plane’s armament was removed. I [...]

1/72 Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien (“Tony”)

by Michael Smith on March 5, 2025 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I completed this 1/72 Japanese fighter today, after four days of work. It is part of the #TonyTonyTony group build on the Bluesky #HistScaleModel group, and is my first group build. It's a straight out of the box build of the 2018 Tamiya [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Ki-61 Tony

by Chris Wallace on March 5, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This was the second time I built the Tony and I was much happier with this model over the older Hasegawa Tony. The cockpit is a gem and after it is complete, you can have the rest of the plane ready for paint in mere hours. Painting was [...]

Chinese Tony

by Scott Nelson on February 4, 2022 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Not long ago I finished the Tamiya Ki-61 and shortly after that I ran across an older version of the Hasegawa kit for a decent price. So I decided to take a chance on it even though I knew it would be good, but not up to the standards of [...]

The Empire of Japan 1919-1946 GB: Hasegawa 1/72 Kawasaki Ki61(Tony)

by Bob Torres on January 24, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This is my Hasegawa 1/72 Ki-61 and it is a very nice kit that was first released in 1973. It is also one of the first kits that Hasegawa made with complete recessed panel lines in which as we closed in to the 80's Hasegawa, Tamiya, Otaki, [...]

Tamiya Tony

by Scott Nelson on December 30, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

My last completed kit of 2021, here’s my 1/72 Tamiya Ki-61 Hien. This was another fantastic kit from Tamiya. I used the camo decals which worked pretty well. I do wish Tamiya provided an open canopy option since there’s pretty good [...]

by James Kelley on July 18, 2021 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien (飛燕, "flying swallow") is a Japanese World War II fighter aircraft. Used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service, it was designated the "Army Type 3 Fighter" (三式戦闘機). Allied [...]

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 [...]

Hasegawa Ki-61 I Hein (Tony), 1/72

by Greg Kittinger on July 31, 2019 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Our club contest theme for 2020 is "Made In Japan," and this is the first of 3 or 4 planned theme builds. Pretty much OOB, except I added some fins to the air intake on the fuselage side. I didn't intend to leave it a [...]
