A legend in model aircraft lore is the story of Revell''s 1/32 Imperial Japanese Kawasaki Ki-61-I Kai Hein "Swallow." This kit was a transition between the model as a toy and as a historical miniature. Over 35 years old, the kit scores high on profile accuracy and detail.

Thanks!

Compare this venerable kit with the recent 1/32 Ki-61 Hien by MDC and 1/32 Ki-61 Hien by Hasegawa.
