The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien ("Tony") & Ki-100 Kawasaki decided to build the Ki-60 first, and the design team, under Kawasaki chief designer Takeo Doi and his deputy Shin Owada, constructed three prototypes of the interceptor in 1941. Kawasaki also experimented with an unusual twin-engine design conceived by Takeo Doi in 1939 and approved for prototype development in October 1940 as the Kawasaki "Ki-64". * Once the Ho-5 cannon became available, Kawasaki designers then reversed the arrangement of the guns, putting the 20 millimeter cannon in the nose and the 12.7 millimeter guns in the wings. www.vectorsite.net /avhien.html   (2580 words)

Ki 61 by Jaroslav Galler (Arii/Otaki 1/48) By comparison, painting with Aeromaster Kawasaki Green and MM Metalizers (undersurfaces) was a relief, as was weathering with chalk pastels. First I cut the fuselage halves of 61-I into three parts, then I divided rear part of Ki-100 fuselage and using glue joined together with a middle part of Ki-61-I. Then I added nearly 1 cm to the nose section (check the length of a real Ki-61-IIkai!). The decals came partly from the Otaki and Hasegawa boxes, the Hinomarus on the wings were airbrushed. www.kitparade.com /features00/ki61jg_1.htm   (364 words)

Stof's Hien Page Kawasaki was asked to build two planes with this engine: the Ki.60 heavy interceptor and the Ki.61 light, all-purpose fighter. The first Army Type 3 Fighter Model 1A, or Ki.61-Ia, powered by a Kawasaki Ha-40 giving 1,175 hp for takeoff, were delivered in February 1943 and entered combat in April. This family of engines was in fact of German origin, the Kawasaki Ha-40 inverted V12 being simply a license-built version of the Daimler-Benz DB-601A, which was powering the Messerchmitt Bf 109E. perso.wanadoo.fr /christophe.arribat/stofki61.html   (889 words)

Kawasaki Ki-61 "Tony" Ki 61-I Ko (a) was the original plane with fully retractable tail wheel and two 7.7 mm light machine gun armament in the wings and two synchronized 12.7 mm in the fuselage forward decking. Many of you are familiar with the existence of one particular Ki 61 aircraft found at Chofu AB; described as a "chocolate bar" brown Tony with white combat stripe and insignia of the 244th Sentai and displaying a large "kelly-green shamrock" on both sides of the fuselage. When Ki 43 Hayabusa (Army type 1 fighter) was introduced, it was decided that the single engined fighters were now to be delivered in NMF (most probably to speed up deliveries) and the eventual supplementary camouflage was to be applied at unit level (without primer by the way). www.j-aircraft.com /faq/ki61.htm   (9922 words)

Japanese Fighter Planes of WWII In the 1920's both the Army and Navy created air arms, and in the 1930's, Japanese manufacturers, Mitsubishi, Nakajima, and Kawasaki, began producing fighter airplanes locally, prodded by an aircraft self-sufficiency program, headed by Admiral Yamamoto. As a result, warplanes that had been both designed and built by the Japanese flew over China in the war there in the late Thirties. In World War One, they won some key victories, but largely with European-built equipment. www.acepilots.com /planes/jap_fighters.html   (1403 words)
