Product Description
The Legacy of the “Hien” Masterpiece Reborn through SWS.
The Ki‑100 Type 5 Army Fighter was a Japanese Army aircraft of World War II, developed as a derivative of the Ki‑61 Hien.
This SWS kit thoroughly recreates the Ki‑100 based on direct research of surviving airframes. It faithfully reproduces the structure and modification process through a carefully engineered parts layout. From the slender Ki‑61 fuselage grafted with a radial engine, to the large fillets blending the fuselage with the wings, all hallmarks of Kawasaki’s engineering challenges were exquisitely captured in true SWS standard.
