A number of different variants were produced, among them the Ki-61-Id, which featured a 20 cm elongated nose to house 20mm cannons, plus 12.7mm machine guns in the wing. In fact, with 1,360 units, it was the most prolifically produced Hien variant; its superior performance at higher altitudes meant that it was often given the brief of taking on incoming U.S. B-29 bombers in the skies around the home islands of Japan. One IJA unit which notably deployed the Hien was the 244th Air Group led by Captain Teruhiko Kobayashi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a 1\/48 scale plastic model assembly kit.
