Come to think of it, anybody know other sorts of inaccuracies such as this? I think it's good timing to bring it up now.

The La-5FN fuel tanks were divided, the Ki-61 is into consideration, 190 fuel burn order and loadout was fixed etc etc..

HT was in AH2 today, told someone there was no need to make a new account as AH2 was "close" to puttin out AH1.

aka yea itd be very good time to get last min stuff in, AH2 is vvverrry close, within week or so id say. (note, HT didnt give any exact date, within week is just my guess.)

Well... Mitsu would be most happy if HTC would model the Ki-61-I-Tei and the Ki-61-1-Hei.

Mitsu · « **Reply #18 on:** May 27, 2004, 04:24:08 AM »

I'll hope to solve confusion about Ki-61 name...
and personally I don't want to HTC add the Ki-61-I-Tei (which has mauser cannon).
I think HTC should use resource for the Ki-100 rather than it.

I'm not clear on exactly what the different tank capacities should be. Can one of you Hienphiles verify if this is accurate?

Wing tanks 2 x 190l
Bottom tank 1 x 170l
Fuselage Aux- 1 x 165l

According to my thread Info on the Ki-61 and I found the old email from Mitsu and they are as follows:

For the Ki-61-I-Tei
Wing Tanks (one in each wing) : 170 liters x 2 = 340 liters
Bottom Tank (one between wings in the fuselage) : 160 liters x 1 = 160 liters
Aft Tank (one behind the cockpit): 95 liters x 1 = 95 liters

Total = 595 liters

Reference is mentioned in the thread.

Its about time the Ki-61 got a respectable paint job. The clown-tail was interesting, but it was a death-trap scheme.

Ki-100 would be interesting addition to the plane-set. J2M and Ki-44, too. And an Emily flying boat.

The name will change and we'll pick a different paintscheme when we update its skin to hi-res.

Mitsu, did you mean the Hei instead of Tei in that last sentence?

Fdutch, that was the other load I was wondering about as that's the same as the Ki-61-II.

He must have meant the Hei version, the Tei version is already there!

Yes, sorry this is my mistake.
I meant Ki-61-I-Hei in that sentence.

P.S.
Nihongo ha muzukasiidesu! (Japanese language is difficult!) j/k

hmmmm Pyro, what action should I take to help you?

scanning Ki-61-I-Tei's data or paint schemes?

Nihongo ha muzukashikanai... Nihonjin oyaji to densha obasan ga muzukashi desu...

Well... Mitsu tells me, Ki-61-1-Tei and the Ki-61-II both have the same specs for fuel tanks.

A little preview of the "Sword", 45% fin.

I'd appreciate if you or Mitsu has any more info on Mr. Fukunaga's particular Ki-61, FD.

The links you've provided have proved to be most useful when creating detailed base-templates. I'm looking for more information to be added in to the plane such as texts, info plates, warning signs and etc etc, if JP planes had them on.

Also, I'm looking for a good, plain view of the pilot gear for this particualr('44) timeline. Got any pics?

Thx in advance!

ps) The colors may look a bit awkward, but it's because the Ki-61 also has the "glaring wax coating' applied to planes such as P-51 or the P-38.

Also, very very unfortunately, the "Tsurugi" hiragana is also mirrored on the opposite fuselage, and I'm on the brink of making a decision whether it should be left out in the final version, or not. Any insights/opinions on this from JP fans would be much appreciated.

Again, a keen eye may notice the rudder marking sizes/placement is wrong - this, is because the Ki-61 has some SERIOUS! issues when it comes to how the textures are mapped on the rudder/VStab. Trust me on this one my Japanese friends, as it is, that, was my best and only option.

Sure. What do you have?

Mitsu · « **Reply #29 on:** May 28, 2004, 10:04:48 PM »

Pyro:
I have Japanese Ki-61/Ki-100 books and model art magazine...
At least I can scan Ki-61-I-Tei spec sheet and its paint scheme from them.

Kweassa:
I'm really glad you posted this thread and you are making Ki-61 skin (I love your plane skins!). I'll check it out, but as pyro said, Ki-61 would get hi-res skin soon. Don't you make skins after Ki-61 got it?
