Hello All,
Perhaps this is not the right place to begin this thread, but here goes:
The Ki-61-Ia was 8.740 meters in length. The Ki-61-I-KAIc was 8.940 meters in length.
Where was the extra length added and for what purpose?
I know there was a redesign that replaced the retractable tail wheel wit a non-retractable version and I suspect there was some change in the forward fuselage to be able to mount the Ho-5 cannons on the cowl.
Thanks in Advance.
- Ivan.
