Historical Information about the Ki-61-ld Hien

The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien was a Japanese fighter aircraft from World War II, introduced into service in 1943. The aircraft was used exclusively by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service. The Ki-61 participated mainly in aerial combat over China, New Guinea, and during the defense of Japan against Allied bombing raids between 1943 and 1945. The Ki-61-ld version was one of the later variants, featuring, among other improvements, upgraded armament—which is precisely represented by the interchangeable barrels included in this Quickboost set.
