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.
