[EAF331 Starfire]

I was wondering if you would mind to affect the Ki84b and c with random bugs. My idear was spawned by the way we get the random gunsight you will get in one of the old Russian aircrafts and my love for this aircraft.
I stopped flying the Ki84 because of the lack of historical modelling.
According to a statistic book I got (Brute Force - John Ellies) the quality of those late war Ki's where pretty bad. It have also been speculated that the version they handed over to the US after the war was in prestine condition.

In Brute Force it is describe with a lot of fault due to lack of strategic materials (from Japanese reports) and lack of quality control. So it was not uncommon that the armorplateing behind the pilot was lacking. That engines would size (due to lack of crome) in flight.

A Quote of a quote from the book:

'An outstanding case of faulty material and poor manitenance was shown in a Japanese diary covering the delivery of 80 Ki-84 (Franks) from Japan to Lingayen Bay, 4 November 1944, where only 14 planes reached their destination. Trouble with engines, fuel systems, hydralics and failure of landing gears were the orincipal causes of trouble'.

I will gladly send you photocopies of the book if I have spawned an interest.


Thanks for all the work you have done so far
