Ki-61 Hien "Tokyo Defender"

[Totalize]

Hi all,

Here's my K-61 Hien completed as Major Teruhiko Kobayashi's mount that he flew briefly while defending the skies over Tokyo in January 1945. He actually used this aircraft to ram a B-29 which though it resulted in the loss of the aircraft also caused the downing of the B-29.

I am in the process of painting the Kobayashi figure that came with the kit and will add it to the kit display when done.

David.

That is some awesome camo. Also nice to see a restrained weathering job
