Aircraft VQ Model Kawasaki HIEN 1.57m

The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien "flying swallow" was a World War II Japanese fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Air Force. Early encounter reports claimed the Ki-61 was a Messerschmitt Bf 109: other reports claimed the new aircraft was of Italian design, leading to the allied report name of "Tony", assigned by the US War Department.

The Japanese Army designation was "Army Type 3 Fighter" It was the only mass-produced Japanese fighter of the war to use a liquid-cooled inline V-engine. Over 3,000 Ki-61s were produced. The initial prototypes saw action over Yokohama during the Halsey-Doolittle Raid on April 18, 1942 and continued to fly combat missions throughout the war.
