I am with you...proceed!  I have seen a few skins of questionable origin or color scheme (or or two LA skins come to mind) and they are in the game.  Can you and I help it that the Japanese didn't have color cameras?

You don't need color cameras to see camouflage.

Most German craft were destroyed at the end of the war too, but there's ample evidence showing off many camo styles.

Not that this applies to that last profile, just sayin'.... :D

Will this do Larry?

Yup.  There are a number of different aircraft the Japanese put surface search radar on later in the war.

Heres a little preview. Also showing yet another problem with how the Ki's model is setup. Its nothing to big, just makes it look alittle wierd.

Sweet photo, Fencer!


On a different, but-slightly-relate-note, has HTC ever accepted any prototype skins into AH to date? I mean if he's got the template from his other Ki it can't hurt to try it, but color me skeptical.

Why do you guys think that is a prototype?  Looks like a second KI-67 next to it in the same camo scheme.

There can be more than 1 prototype :)

It's unlike any standard, and apparently the book that scn.ru scanned it from says it's a prototype. This is one of the entries that actually has a reference in it, that Larry already posted:

"Ki-67 Prototype
Unit: Rikugun Koku Shinsa-bu (Army Aviation Experimental Department)
Serial: 2
Ki-67 Prototype No.2 at Kagamigahara Army Air Base, Gifu Prefecture, February 1943.

Artist: © Rikyu Watanabe
Source: 'Army type 4 Heavy Bomber Hiryu (Ki-67 Peggy)', Famous Airplanes of the World No.98, Bunrindo Co."


EDIT: P.S. I bet the one behind it is prototype No. 1, in the photo!
