Historical skins for Ki-61 "Hien"

04/08/2006 news : With some usefull input from LeBillFish, a lot of historical pictures and patience, i've completely reworked my Ki-61 template; in a few days i'll start re-uploading my Ki-61 skinpacks one by one (including new skins). "Old" skinpacks will remain available till new ones will be online. Some skins are Ki-61-I-Tei, those should be putted in the Otsu folder (for the same external look), or in the Hei folder (same firepower).

Ki-61 Skinpack Major Kobayashi, 244th sentai.

6 kown profiles for the K-61-I-Hei/Tei of Major Kobayashi, Leader of 244th sentai. Click here to see some profiles. He started his career in the JAAF as a light bomber pilot over China. He rose to fame defending the skies over Tokyo in 1944/45. Kobayashi's final credit is 14 (20?) kills, most of them B-29s, and he scored his 6th victory on January 27, 1945, by ramming a Superfortress with his Hien nr.295. He could bail out, and for this merit he received the Bukosho Medal of Honour.
