COBI 5872 – Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien – The Flying Swallow of the East

Experience the intensity of the Pacific air theater with this authentic replica. The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien, codenamed "Tony" by Allied forces, stood out as Japan's only mass-produced fighter featuring a liquid-cooled V-engine. This design allowed for a sleeker, more aerodynamic profile that challenged the dominance of the skies. Representing the 244th Sentai during the defense of Tokyo, this model honors the technical legacy and the stories of the pilots who flew these unique machines.

Assembling this 1:48 scale model offers a rewarding experience for collectors. The build is characterized by high precision and the use of specialized slopes to recreate the iconic silhouette. A standout feature is the total absence of stickers; every insignia and detail, including the canopy, is rendered through high-quality pad printing. This ensures that the historical camouflage and markings remain crisp and vibrant for years to come.

Designed with a focus on realism, this aircraft is the perfect addition to any historical display. Its compact scale makes it ideal for shelf arrangements alongside other legendary warbirds. Whether you prefer to showcase it with the landing gear deployed or in a clean flight configuration with its rotating propeller, this model speaks to the heart of aviation history and engineering excellence.

Highlights

  • Accurate 1:48 scale, perfect for space-saving historical collections.
  • 100% pad printed details – no stickers for a premium, lasting finish.
  • Authentic representation of Teruhiko Kobayashi's historical aircraft.
  • Interactive elements including a rotating propeller and detachable landing gear.
  • Smooth, beginner-friendly assembly with clear, intuitive instructions.

Building with history, technology and character

COBI is the largest building brick manufacturer in Central and Eastern Europe. Based in Poland, it has a clear mission: to create high-quality building sets that combine a passion for technology, historical learning and creative play. Every set is made exclusively in the EU using rigorously tested materials.

COBI specialises in collector’s models with character: military history models, modern classics at 1:35 scale, licensed vehicles and aircraft, as well as interactive technology sets. The extensive Historical Collection is especially popular, featuring faithfully detailed tanks, aircraft, ships and vehicles from the First and Second World Wars. Moving parts, durable prints instead of stickers and authentic scales make these models a highlight for collectors and grown-up builders.

Everything is manufactured at COBI’s own factory in Mielec, Poland, using materials of European origin, in accordance with strict EU regulations and with continuous quality testing, including inspections by TÜV Rheinland. COBI also works with renowned brands such as Jeep®, Škoda®, Maserati®, Boeing® and Dassault Aviation, as well as Wargaming.net (World of Tanks and World of Warships). Thanks to the included statistics cards, many sets can even be used as compact strategy games.

COBI is therefore aimed not only at children, but also at adults, technology enthusiasts, history fans and model builders. If you are looking for something special beyond the familiar brands, you will find it here: robust quality, fascinating themes, authentic scales and durable prints, all developed and manufactured in Europe.
