Eduard FE822 Ki-61-Id TAMIYA 1/48 – Photo-Etched Parts for the Ki-61-Id Model

The Eduard FE822 set is designed to enhance the detail of the 1:48 scale Tamiya Ki-61-Id aircraft model. This set targets modelers who wish to elevate the realism of their build to the highest standards, achieving the effect of a real machine straight from the era of World War II. The product was developed with an emphasis on historical accuracy and meticulous attention to the unique details of the Ki-61 Hien, a Japanese fighter aircraft used during World War II.

The Ki-61-Id "Hien" aircraft was one of the primary fighters of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. It entered combat service in 1943 and was widely used throughout the Southeast Asian theater, as well as in the defense of Japan’s home islands until the capitulation in 1945. The Ki-61-Id was distinguished by its liquid-cooled inline engine and metal construction, which set it apart from many other Japanese fighters of that era.

The Eduard FE822 set consists of high-quality photo-etched metal parts. These components are precisely cut and, in part, pre-colored, allowing you to replicate the most important cockpit details such as seatbelts, instrument panel, control sticks, and small switches and control panels. Thanks to this, the model achieves a level of realism that is hard to attain without such accessories. The photo-etched parts enable easy and accurate refinement of the pilot’s cockpit interior, making the model not only visually more appealing but also more historically accurate.
