Reference Recommendation Request: Ki-84

[Cycling Guy]

Hello everyone!

 

I am in search of reference material for the Ki84 Hayate. I would be most interested in cockpit images or plans to give scratch building a go. 
 

Thank you in advance,

[Juggernut]

Nohara, S. (1999), Aero detail 24, nakajima ki-84 hayate "frank", Dai Nippon Kaiga publishing, Tokyo

Mikesh, R. (2000), Japanese aircraft interiors 1940-1945, Monogram Aviation Publications,MA.

Bueschel, R. (1997), Nakajima ki-84a/b hayate in japanese army air force service, Schiffer Publishing, PA

Famous Airplanes of the World No. 19Army Type 4 Fighter "Hayate" Bunrin Do Co. Ltd.  (no other publication information can be found - Japanese text only)

The Maru Mechanic No. 33  Nakajima Army Type 4 Fighter "Hayate" (Ki-84" (Japanese text only)

 

You may have difficulty sourcing several, if not all, of the above titles and the Mikesh text, even if available, will cost a small fortune to acquire.

 

These are the only references I know of on the Ki-84 but there may be a Model Art reference on it and I think there's a Kagero book on it as well.  I cannot speak to the information available within either but Model Art is normally very well detailed (may or may not have English text to accompany the Japanese).  There may well be others and if so, someone will post them.

Thank you so much for the information. I think I may be better served started with the Curtiss Hawk 81 or the P-47D bubble top

There is also the old Aero Series book from the late 60s. Probably the first on this airplane, and with a good bit of history. When fueled with American gas, this plane out flew everything.

Thats incredible to learn and terrifying to hear too. 

 

One of these days I'll buy an actual plane and fly it...when I win the lottery.

CG Wanted to insert a photo from his collection, from a computer, but I can't... (some rules of the forum interfere.

 

And I have a lot of information about this plane...)

Hi mechanic , have you seen this ?   https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/forum/91-posting-images/

 

 

[mechanic]

Yes, I read it... But, in this, there are some restrictions on discussing and resolving any issues. Many can help, for example Cycling Guy, but there is some kind of barrier... A pity.

But there are rules, there are rules!

You have to upload photos to a photo sharing service first (such as Photobucket, although I use https://postimages.org/),then you can add them into posts here as a link.

When registering using the link  https://postimage.org / here... Unknown error! Please try again.about 

Life is wonderful!...)

You don't need to log in or create an account with them - just click on 'Choose Images' and select the pictures you want to upload from your computer.

 

When that's done, you need to copy the text in the box next to 'Direct Link' - it will be something like 'https://i.postimg.cc/ZRnWXBN9/c7d0bb1b42b78dd7-large.jpg'

 

Then you need to copy that text, and when creating a message here you click on the 'Link' button at the top of the message and paste the text into there.
