Print Scale 72-167 Decal Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-167 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft plastic model kits of the Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien, a Japanese Army Air Force fighter that served extensively during the Second World War.

The Kawasaki Ki-61 was unique among Japanese fighters due to its liquid-cooled inline engine, which gave it a distinctive appearance compared to radial-engined contemporaries. Entering service in 1943, the Ki-61 was deployed in homeland defense, China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific, and was operated by many frontline Sentai units. Allied pilots often mistook it for German or Italian aircraft due to its silhouette.

This decal set is intended for modelers wishing to reproduce historically accurate Japanese WWII fighters. It includes national insignia and aircraft markings suitable for representative Ki-61 subjects and is compatible with any 1:72 scale Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien plastic model kit. The set is recommended for experienced builders familiar with WWII Japanese aircraft finishes and markings.
