to this day I find it interesting/odd that the T-4 is an unarmed aircaft considering the story of other training planes from the JASDF, is pretty cool to look at it though and I hope to get a 1/144 model of a T-4 one of these days

isnt that a mockup?
I dont think so actually
Yes, it’s a 1:1 scale, non-functional replica.

Unfortunately it’s just a replica, but I believe the A7M3 was partially built. Still very cool.

Ki-15 has only a machine gun for self-defense, Ki-78 is unarmed, J4M1 was not built, Ki-94-I and Ki-84N were not built either. G8N2 and 3 were not built, G7M was not built either, Tenga is a total fiction. The Ki-87-II is just a project

Additionally, the photo of the Ki-116 is fiction. There are no photos of the Ki-116 aircraft.

Just for information, the Mitsubishi Ki-67-I AEW aircraft is already in the game. At the end of the war, the Japanese army began to introduce TaKi 1 radars to equip many aircraft. For example, the Ki-49 or the Ki-67

we still have replica’s/mockup’s including kitbashed/fictional vehicles (LOOKING AT YOU OSTWIND II AND ZERSTORER 45) in the game so maybe the A7M3-J Kai could be an event or BP vehicle something new but also very unique since if i recall it was intended to be a turbo jet

I thought the Ki-43-II never got Ko/Otsu/Hei models since those almost always meant a change in armament. Are these to differentiate the revisions it got?
as an aside: the american captured Ki-43-II is the latest Ki-43-II in the game, the japanese one is an earlier model. However both have the same performance.
I’m not saying it’s impossible to be added, perhaps since a replica was made, gaijin would be willing to skirt the rules a little. But I don’t see it happening.

Yes. The American Ki-43-II is the Otsu version, and the Japanese is the Ko version. There is also the Ki-43-II Kai / Hei
As I know - yes. Ki-43-II never had Ko, Otsu, Hei designations
Interesting, in Bunrindo’s book on the Ki-43 it was said that the Ko/Otsu/Kai etc designations were never applied to the Ki-43 and are a postwar creation used to differentiate the revisions they made.
That would line up with what I read.
However, it is probably better to use the incorrect designation Ki-43-II Ko/Otsu/Hei than the early, middle and late Ki-43-II
Maybe, but I think early/mid/late would be much more accurate, it better represents what each model is.
Actually, as many as 5 different modifications of the Ki-43-II are shown here. This is where the problem with naming the plane appears. Well, unless you know the date of the modification.
