Japanese light bombers and reconnaissance aircrafts

[gekho]

Dear Gekho, Beautiful photos of a beautiful plane and its pilots. The beauty of the wings, their generous area, the dihedral and general proportions make the Ki-4 an excellent flying peanut scale subject. I have searched the net but cannot find a drawing or 3 view. Would you be so kind to help me if you can. Tony French

Ok, I am working on it.

Nice collection of photo's, and great topic.

I know this is an old post, but my OCD compels me to mention that that last photograph on the Nakajima B5N post appears to be a B6N, not a B5N. It has the distinctive large over-cowling intake, the bulbous cowling, large spinner and what appears to be a forward-swept aerial mast, all of which are features of the Nakajima B6N, the successor to the B5N.
