Kawasaki Ki-61 "Hien"

The Ki-61 was the only mass-produced japanese world war two fighter aircraft to be powered by an inline V12 engine. It saw first combat action in 1943 and was at first believed to be a german or an italian aircraft by the americans due to the unusual powerplant for japanese aircraft at the time.

The Ki-61 took me about 3 days to build with only a minimal amount of problems. It is robust, agile and fast without getting hard to control. It's six power x15 crossbows make up for missing autocannons while the two bombs further add to the armament.

Update: I added a power x4 autocannon and removed two out of the six crossbows under the wings. Summed up this only added one block.
