Modelers focused on World War II aircraft and ground vehicles will appreciate this combined kit that highlights Japanese design from the period. The set pairs the Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien fighter with the compact Type 95 Kurogane 4x4 light vehicle for diorama-friendly variety.
The Ki-61-Id Hien is notable for using a liquid-cooled engine, a rarity among Japanese fighters of the time, giving it a distinctive profile. This variant includes an extended nose housing 20mm cannon armament along with 12.7mm wing machine guns, enabling it to face heavy Allied bombers.
The 1/48 scale kit presents detailed engine and cockpit features, ammunition stowage, and an oil cooler. Builders can pose the canopy open or closed and remove the upper cowling for engine display after assembly. Masking stickers are provided for precise canopy painting and two marking schemes from the 244th Air Group are offered.
The Type 95 Kurogane served as a nimble reconnaissance and liaison vehicle across varied terrain in China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. This model reflects its compact footprint, includes decal and metal transfer options for fine detail, and supplies a standing commander figure plus a driver figure.
