New Ki-100 aircraft models by Allen!

Given the mess that is documentation for things like Japanese aircraft I would use what I think is right and call it good tell you find out otherwise.

Hello Allen,

The problem here is more a matter of idealism than anything else.
I had exact dimensions for the Ki-61-Id and all versions before it.
I know no one can see the discrepancies from my guessing at the dimensions but I still want them perfect.
The dimensions for Japanese aircraft are generally not that difficult to find because of books like the FAOTW and Maru Mechanic series.
The biggest problem is getting performance numbers because most of the common references are simply wrong.
As an example, the typical listing for maximum speed for the Ki-100 is 360 MPH and yet it was stated to be the equal of a P-51D in combat.
It makes more sense when one finds period documentation that puts the maximum speed at 397 MPH which makes more sense for 1500 HP fighter.
The Japanese way of measuring performance didn't line up well with practices of other countries at the time.

Still Looking for those numbers.
