Kawasaki Ki-100 & Mitsubishi Ki-46

A procedural model built in Blender from the type’s published dimensions, painted as c/n 16336, the RAF Museum’s Kawasaki Ki-100-Ib, the only Ki-100 left in the world, one of the late-production fighters built in 1945 with the cut-down rear fuselage and all-round-vision canopy, brought to Britain after the war for evaluation, displayed for many years at Cosford and now in Hangar 5 at the RAF Museum in London: a single-seat army fighter of 39 ft 4 in span, the liquid-cooled Ki-61 Hien airframe re-engined with a Mitsubishi Ha-112-II fourteen-cylinder radial in a broad cowling with exhaust stacks in the gap behind it, two 20 mm Ho-5 cannon over the engine and two 12.7 mm Ho-103 machine guns in the wings, a bubble canopy and wide-track main wheels that retract inwards, shown standing tail-down with the hood closed: dark olive green over the upper surfaces and the whole fuselage, light grey under the wings and tailplane, yellow-orange identification strips on the inner wing leading edges with small red patches over the gun ports, plain red hinomaru without white borders on the fuselage sides and both surfaces of the wings, red walkway outlines on the wing roots, no codes or serial, light grey drop-tank racks under the wings and a red-brown three-blade propeller and spinner with yellow tips.
