Aires 7049 Kawasaki Ki-61 I Cockpit Set 1/72 HASEGAWA – Upgrade Set for Japanese Fighter Model

The Aires 7049 Kawasaki Ki-61 I cockpit set in 1/72 scale is a high-quality detail-up kit intended for the plastic model of the Kawasaki Ki-61 fighter, made specifically for the Hasegawa kit. It allows for a significant enhancement of interior details, taking the appearance of the finished model to a much higher level of realism and historical accuracy.

Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien – also known by its Allied code name "Tony" – was one of the most important fighters of the Imperial Japanese Air Force during World War II. The aircraft made its combat debut in 1943, proving its worth both over the Pacific islands and in the defense of the Japanese home islands until 1945. Its characteristic liquid-cooled engine, streamlined silhouette, and armament allowed it to compete bravely with Allied machines such as the P-40 and P-51. The Ki-61 was known for its high speed and maneuverability.

The Aires 7049 set is made of high-quality resin, enabling extremely accurate reproduction of the cockpit's finest details, not achievable with the kit's standard parts. The set includes items such as pilot's seats, side panels, instrument panel, control column, small levers, and other cockpit equipment — all precisely recreated based on documentation of the original. This allows every modeler to recreate the Ki-61 cockpit interior with the utmost attention to even the tiniest details, including those that may not be visible once the model is fully assembled.
