This Tamiya 1:72 scale model kit is designed for model enthusiasts who appreciate historical accuracy and detailed aircraft replicas. Its key benefit is providing a realistic and engaging building experience of the iconic Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien, a prominent aircraft of the Pacific War.

This is a 1:72 scale model kit.
No, adhesive, tools, and paints are sold separately and are required for assembly and finishing.
The completed model has a total length of approximately 125mm.
It represents the Kawasaki Ki-61-Id 'Hien', a Japanese fighter aircraft used during World War II.
While it can be assembled unpainted, the kit is designed to be painted to achieve a realistic appearance and showcase its details.
The kit includes decals for three different aircraft markings.
This kit is generally suitable for intermediate modelers due to its level of detail. Beginners may find it challenging but achievable with patience and care.
Ensure all parts are properly cleaned of excess plastic ('flash') before attempting assembly. Check the instruction manual carefully to confirm the correct orientation and part number.
Use glue sparingly, applying it only to the connection points. If smudging occurs, allow the glue to dry completely, then carefully try to remove it with a fine-grit sanding stick or by very gently scraping with a hobby knife.
Ensure the model surface is smooth and gloss-coated before applying decals. Use decal setting solutions to help them conform to surface details. Handle decals with tweezers and apply them gently with a soft brush.

Care Instructions:
Once assembled and painted, display the model in a location free from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent fading or damage to the plastic. Dust gently with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning.
