Hasegawa 1/32 Kawasaki Ki61-i Hei Hien (Tony)
The Kawasaki Ki-61 was was a unique fighter in the Imperial Japanese service as it was the only production fighter to be powered the a liquid-cooled engine. The Ha-40 V12 liquid-cooled engine powered the Ki-61 and was a license-built copy of the German's Daimler Benz DB 601A.
First flown in December 1941, the aircraft was popular with the test pilots as it posessed good armament, self-sealing fuel tanks, and had good dive performance. The main drawback at that time was the aircraft's high wingloading, but test flights of the aircraft against the Ki-43, Ki-44, Bf 109E and even a captured P-40E revealed that the Ki-61 was the fastest of the group and could outmaneuver all but the Ki-43.
