That is looking very impressive! Good work. Don't forget the elevator trim tab actuator rods! Every single drawing of the Tojo has forgotten these :)

Great work on the landing gear!

Great project Shinpachi, it looks good so far. There are many drawings of the Ki-44 and they are all different and most of them are pretty inaccurate. I have done a lot of research on the Ki-44 because it's a bit like the Japanese Fw 190 (but with less guns!) and the only accurate set of...

Very interesting thread! Are there any updates?

These guys sell an excellent set: WELCOME TO WARBIRDPLANS.COM It doesn't have anything on -5 model ailerons though, but I'd expect the dimensions to be unchanged from the F4U-1?

Daniel Bechennec happens to be a friend of mine, so I contacted him this week and expressed my concern that I suspected his work was being pirated by Ron Cole. Here is his reply: To answer to your question – thanks for the report – you can have serious doubts : I gave no permission to him...

Great stuff! The Ki-44 is simply another Ki-43 however.

JFYI this manual, and many others, was discovered in the Japanese archives by Skyraider3D during hours of digging for aviation related materials, and passed on the link to sagindragin. He would've posted the manual here himself (along with over 40 others), if it wasn't for the fact that flyboyj...

The main difference was that the Goodyear machines couldn't fold their wings. Some related equipment was removed to save weight, but overall the design of the wing didn't change much at all - no visible differences externally. Land-based pilots preferred the Goodyear machines over the Vought...

Not sure if it's been mentioned before, but those interested in this subject should get this book: Captured Aircraft by IJN IJA Very cheap, well worth it. PS. The various Dakotas posted were of course not captured aircraft but "Tabbys" produced in Japan.

And you were right. Some people just don't use their eyes... let's hope they're not pilots! ;)

V. good. I should've shown the tail turret only! :twisted:

Standard mid-war scheme for the Bf 109 G was RLM 74/75/76. However during the summer of '44 RLM 74 was more and more often being substituted by RLM 83 dark green. The RLM 83/75/76 scheme was officially introduced in October, if I remember correctly, and replaced by RLM 81 (brown)/83/76 from...

Do a search the Hyperscale forums for this. There's been quite a few posts about FAA Corsairs there recently. One had a comprehensive breakdown of colour/markings, if I remember correctly.

Now try this one! Good luck! ;)
