The detailed Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien in 1:48 scale offers great proportions and an attractive look for collectors and children alike – ideal as a standalone model as well as part of a historical aircraft collection.
The model has a movable propeller and removable landing gear with wheels featuring rubber tires, so it looks realistic both on the ground and in a “flight” configuration.
COBI uses high-quality prints instead of stickers – the markings won’t peel off and the model will keep its representative look for a long time, which collectors will especially appreciate.
The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien, nicknamed the “Flying Swallow,” is among the most interesting aircraft of the Japanese air force. It was exceptional, among other things, because as the only mass-produced fighter of the Imperial Army it used a liquid-cooled V-type engine, and its appearance was so unusual that the Allies initially mistook it for a German Messerschmitt. With this COBI set, you will create a realistic miniature that combines history, collectible value, and the joy of building.
The model is designed so that the build is smooth and delivers a quick, visible result. Thanks to durable prints (no stickers), the aircraft will remain presentable for a long time in any collection of historical airplanes.
Main advantages:
The set is suitable for builders from 6 years and is a great gift for fans of aviation, military history, and WWII-era models.
