What the AHII aircraft list would look like with these 14 additions

[Arlo]

I acknowledge the lineage. I'm talking about modeling. In either
case, I'm sure HTC could benefit from one or the other.  







Having said that, my consideration regarding these particular planes
includes many of them offering HTC some shortcuts (not all, of course)
- as well as trying to logically fill some gaps and even make an offering to
the MA side.

It would make their job easier and we would likely see additions sooner.

you find any pilot manuals or technical documents on the meatball planes? documentation like that would make it more likely for the planes to get added to ah.

HTCs library is is likely more complete than most players in the community.
I say most because, well, this is a rather unique and dedicated one.

Ten times as many posts and the 'whole story' can be told. I've other reference material
available. I have to tell you, prejudice against Wiki is inflated. The last book I picked up is
not only rife with typos but it couldn't even reference the plane profiles properly.

But anything you feel needs addressing is available for just that. 

missed this in the shuffle...imagine that book full of errors in infinite numbers in digital format...wikipedia. good place to start a search but don't put your money on the contents.

Wikie articles - especially articles on WWII hardware - tend to be quite detailed with a rather long list of references.
They can be infinitely edited and amended and now that official Wiki editors oversee such, the tomfoolery is reduced.
It is convenient and it makes for a degree of informative support. Other sources left out are more gravy to the meat.

But this book I haphazardly picked up at Half Price Books won't be used much by me:

So am I.  the 3D model of a Ki-84 and of a Ki-100 wouldn't share anything at all.  Don't be deceived by a superficial similarity in a profile drawing.  The Ki-100 would share almost 100% of the 3D model of a Ki-61-II from behind the firewall on back.  Not sure how much it would share with a Ki-61-I.
