Hold the phone here, before we do more Ki84 variants.
We've got the Spit VIII with 1,654 built,
5,663 Spit IX built and 1,084 Spit XVI built, with roughly 80 percent of those being LF variants and we don't have an LF Spit yet.
I raise my 8000 LF Spits and call your 500 Ki's
Enough is enough already 
Give me a clipped wing LF IX/ XVI or VIII first

Here's my thoughts:
American airpower is represented a total of 22 aircraft.
Germany is represented by 17 total aircraft.
We have 5 varients of Spitfires. Plus the Brit plane set includes the Typhoon, Tempest, 3 Hurricanes, Mosquito, Boston and the Lancaster, which adds up to 13 total aircraft.
Japanese aircraft are represented by two Zeros, the D3A, the B5N and the N1K2-J (all IJN aircraft). The JAAF is represented by the Ki-61, Ki-67 and Ki-84a-I. This comes to 8 total aircraft.
Soviet aircraft consists of Two yaks, two Lavochkins and the IL-2, for a total of 5 aircraft.
Italy is represented by the C.202 and C.205. That's just 2 aircraft.
We do not have any French aircraft. No Dutch aircraft. No Romanian aircraft, and so on.
What we really need is another late-war Japanese single engine carrier bomber. Perhaps a version of the G4M medium bomber. This set could also use the J2M3 Raiden and since a second Ki-84 varient is easier to do, add that as well. This will provide a balanced Japanese plane set.
Soviet aircraft could use the Pe-2, Yak-3, I-16 and the Yak-9D.
Any Italian bomber would be welcome, and theres always the Re-2000 or Re-2002 or Re 2005 as well as the various Fiat fighters.
Any aircraft representing countries like France and Holland would be welcomed.
Once we have balanced the plane set better, then introducing other Spitfire marks would be appropriate. Likewise, another P-38 model and the P-39 could be added. Planes like the P-39 and P-63 could appear in Soviet colors, adding to that set.
There is certainly a gap in German bombers. Maybe the He 111 or Do 217 would be considered.
Sure, there were many different versions of the Spitfire and Mosquito, but these only build on sizable plane sets. Let's get things balanced and then move on to more versions of existing aircraft.
My regards,
