Thanks for kind comments and good question, David and Thor!

This work is just for my fun simply because few have ever tried to visualize the structure in 3D CGI or CAD.
In fact, I have been searching for business chances since 2004 to understand that digitized data can be easily copied unlike actual aircraft or scale models or printed books.
My dream is to reproduce those vintage planes lost in time
 
Hello and Thanks for your kind comment, Wuerger190!
Modelling the Ki-44 is frankly tougher than I expected but the tail landing gear will also be coming up soon.
Please keep in touch

Thanks Wayne

Complication of this design sheet is that directions like forward/backward or right/left are not necessarily unified or clarified.
With no actual parts anymore, it takes time to understand

Thanks Merv and every one for kind comments!
It looks as if I'm only repeating errors and corrections but slowly going on

Hi Shinpachi,

Just came across your wonderful work on the ki44. I've seen the fuselage cross sections drawn in the manuals documents from JACAR. Do the drawings and dimensions in there match well to the wind tunnel model?

 
Thanks Hugh, Geo, nicknack and Wojtek!

Measurement value shown on the manual have no problem but illustrations are too inaccurate to trace and use them as they are.
I only repeat the errors and corrections till completed as I find no better way.

Hi Shinpachi,

Wonderful work. By the way just as another source of photographs for reference, the san-diego NASM archives are good and the museum has uploaded a bunch of photos. Perhaps you are aware of them. In any case I've attached a sample link
