Hello, I'm new here but i have been reading several posts here for quite a while, specially in the profile section, i then this account so that i can share some what-if,s i have done and will do in the future.
I will start with a Ki-61, my favorite fighter of all time and one i have researched quite a lot, i always wanted to see a ''upgraded'' model that looked very state of the art for back then, so i did this and i call it the Ki-61-III-Kai, it has new design features, 4x 20mm cannon, a new DB-605 based engine built by Kawasaki (without troublesome modifications this time) and a engine mounted 30mm cannon for getting bombers.

Looks very racy ! Nice
-
Thank you, and yes indeed it looks very racy.
-
Nice work and welcome! :)
-
Very nice, very slippery.
-
Hey Senji! Nice to see you over here after the invite a while ago from dA. You should repost some of your other designs over here for people that don't know you from dA. You've got some great "what if" stuff on there.
Cheers,
Logan

Thank you all, and Logan, im gonna add more soon including some F-14 profiles based on the schemes made by ValAstur and a Japanese ''Fw-190D-9'' wich is in fact a Ki-100 with a long nose.
As of now i will post this repaint of the Ki-61-III-Kai on different colours.

PS. is there anyway to post images without img command
-
Ki-61-III-Kai looks great! I prefer the green one.
Where are all the guns located? 4 x 20mm and a 30mm sounds like a bomber killer. It might make the fighter a little heavy for dogfighting?

Theres a engine mounted Ho-155 30mm cannon, 2 Ho-5 20mm cannons on the cowling and 2 more on the wings ( different from most allied fighters the wing cannons are hidden inside)
Yes that would make it a little heavy but this aircraft is considering the scenario of Japan in 1945 where aircraft were made heavier and faster as possible so they could destroy B-29,s , plus many times the B-29,s were unescorted..
-
Heres a F-14 with Aeronautica Militare green camouflage..

My imagination started running in the direction of a couple of my favorite subjects...
Heinkel produced a variant of Ki-61-III-Kai, and a squadron or two were delivered to Finland. There, the wing guns were removed, as was done with the few Bf 109s that were delivered with wing guns. Finland didn't face any heavies - just overwhelming numbers of fighters and smaller bombers that could better be handled with a fast and agile fighter. Three guns would be "sufficient".

You know, i was thinking of a German or Italian one but it didnt cross my mind a Finnish one, good idea... i might do it soon.
-
I like your Ki-61-III very much, thanks! :-*
Is there a Ki-61-IV zwilling twin-engined single-seater? ???
-
:-*
After the war, the Finnish ones might go to bare metal or silver finish. Which national insignia is used at that point depends on how the war ends.
-
Hm, these bare metal should be easy to make, i alredy made a german one and finnish too, im thinking on how im doing a italian one wich would be built by Piaggio..
And i could make a zwiling, but it wont be very different in this side profile, altho i can make it apparent by removing the cockpit on the other side, you would be able to see that thru the glass and realize theres ''2'' airframes, plus this sounds like a good desesperate bomber destroyer, remove the all 20mm guns and keep only these engine mounted 30mm,s then add in the center wing, 2 of these 40mm Ho-301 cannons the Ki-44,s were meant to use..
And is there a way i can post multiple images, add image only lets me add one

Do my Mustang Zwillings provide help? ;)

Love the P.62

Love the P.62
I might remake it soon with more quality like the Ki-61-III, thats a older drawning when i had less skills.

I see you like things a little asymmetrical hehe.. Well i could do that for you too..
-
Im going to diversify this a little with a small pack of Super Hornets

-
Um...... cool Canadian Super Hornet...... :)
-
The Ki-61 derivatives are great!
... oops, you put a Messerschmitt Bf 109 G6 serial on the post-war Finnish one (MT). For a Heinkel, I'd propose HK (I think that was not used with any type - at least HE was already taken and HN is now used on Hornets).
The propellers look like they have only 2 blades. I think 3 blades would be about right for a DB 605 based engine.

Well i got it from a Bf-109G6 model i found on google images lol, will fix, about the propellers, its meant to be 4, and if it wasn't for you i wouldn't had noticed there is 2 blades missing! thanks!
-

Will you invent your own version of asymmetric Ki-122 or cousin? That would be great!

Yes, ill remove the engine from the side blocking the cockpits view..
-
Well i got it from a Bf-109G6 model i found on google images lol, ...
I thought so ;) In Finnish military aircraft codes, the letters identify the aircraft type. MT = Messerschmitt, BW = Brewster, HN = Hornet, and so on. There's still some letter combinations that have not been used...
-
Love the Super Hornets. Is it possible to remove/move the watermark?

Thank you and yes, i will remove these, i think they re annoying too but im finding new ways to put a ''seal''

Wonderful! (There is no hurry: I would wait a million years, but the result will be great I am sure) :-*

Great stuff! Planning any variations on the PZL-62?

Currently, i am working on other Japanese designs like the Nakajima Ki-62 ( inline version of the Ki-84 ), but you gave me a very good idea..

Well, sort of.. i needed a designation since its name is actually ''Rustler'', since its based on the P-51 and the P-40 i did 50+40 wich is 90 and divided by 2(aircraft) then i got P-45
-
Interesting explanation, this is like a missing link... ;)
(Pr Darwin would conclude the P-40 and the P-51 are a single family, like he said my grand grand father is an ape)
-
Heres 2 more, a Ki-62-I in two versions : with razorback and without.

EDIT: i didnt forget about ur stuff tophe, just need to figure how im gonna do it lol
-
:-* Lovely Ki-62s, thanks a lot!
From these ones also, you could make a zwilling twin: no external tailplane, front (port) fuselage with bubble, rear (starboard) fuselage with razorback... :-* Will you? (1,000 times more beautiful than a Twin-Mustang)...

Yeah, i will present this and the other in a post only for Zwilings in a near future

Hurrah! Thanks a lot! ;)

:icon_ninja: i have plenty of other Japanese aircraft to post here, what-if of course.. and so good looking as these..

^^^^^
No menaces: show them! ;) ;)
An inline engine equipped Hayate would look wonderful in plastic.

Mines different however.. i reduced the massive radiator a bit so it looks better and to clean the lines

Last post was accidentally posted with my old account wich was used only for viewing, i have now switched back, sorry for this.

Nice work - I really like the F-20B. Would love to see more, perhaps in the following schemes: Germany (it was a strong contender after all before the Typhoon), Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia...
-
I support Greg's analogy, your work does look great Schwann90!!
