From page 76,
Shiden Model 11 (N1K1-J) - Naruo Factory until number 250 and Himeji Factory until number 50... total: 300
Shiden Model 11 Ko (N1K1-Ja) - Naruo Factory from 251 to 550 and Himeji Factory from 51 to 250... total: 500
and so...
Shiden Model 11 Otsu (N1K1-Jb) - total: 207 ... because...
Shiden Model 11 Hei (N1K1-Jc) - prototype only! (from
Nihon no Meiki (Shiden) (use
bablefish translation feature at altavista to translate from Japanese to English... it should be adequate for the purposes here...)
and for the ShidenKai...
From Kawanishi N1K2-J "George" Shiden-Kai, ISBN4-499-22711-9, page 67,
Shiden Model 21 (N1K2-J) - total: 100
and so...
Shiden Model 21 Ko (N1K2-Ja) - Total: 306 ... because no other models of the ShidenKai made mass production.
There were sites other than the Naruo and Himeji Factories that made the Shiden and the ShidenKai's under license but they produced minimal amount.
For the differences between these types, kindly refer to the following threads:
N1K1-Jc shiden model 11c four 500 pound bomb's we nead it! N1K2-J and its gears As a side note... we found that the N1K2-J can load two 60kg bombs or two 250kg bombs. And for the N1K2-Ja, four 30kg bombs or four 60kg bombs or two 250kg bombs. The option for 60kg bombs should be placed in AH I think
(from ShidenKai and Its Data on Its 99 Mysteries (ISBN4-576-95141-6) page 174)
Well... that's it for now I think...
