Ki-61-I-Otsu, 50 Sentai, 2 Chutai, Heho airfield, Burma, Apr.44

This aircraft, a Ki-61-Ib Hien 'Swallow' also known as the 'Tony' to the Allied Forces, belonged to the 50th Sentai, 2nd Chutai and was based at Heho airfield in Burma during April 1944. The Tony was Japan's only inline fighter to see successful active service and it's appearance in 1942 caused consternation amonst allied pilots as it's high diving speed rendered their usual diving attacks useless.

This skin contains modified PAW 3dz files, with an EAW style prop and canopy added by Woolfman and furthur 3dz tweaking by Flying Sheep.
