This week we feature the Super Wing Series 1/32 Kawasaki KI-45TYpe 2 "Toryu" No 13
Developed and manufactured by Kawasaki Aircraft, The Toryu was a twin-engine fighter of the Imperial Japanese Army. Demonstrating its power in the interception of large aircraft, it was very active in the mainland defense battle until the end of the war. With this kit, it is possible to reproduce the Ki-45 Kai Tei (late production type) or the Ki-45 Kai Hei, Tei (Tai-Atari Special Attack Aircraft).
The seemingly simple shape is actually composed of complex and natural shapes in each part. Especially the nose, the circumference of the canopy, the top and bottom of the fuselage, the front side and back side of the fuselage are twisted. In our SWS kit, these features of the exterior are fully reproduced as well as the interior.
A variety of armed variants were abundant, actively adopting large-sized machine cannons. There were 4 variants: A, B, C, & D. Based on the SWS concept, detailed suspension systems devised for each weapon were reproduced. We express our condolences, and made it possible to reproduce this “ramming machine”.
