Hallo.
I have used also these draws .
I wuold like to have the translation of japanese written on these pages.

Grazie, many thanks

I have translated it into English to the best of my understanding.
The wing frame diagram seems to be different from the publicly available three-view drawing, but I do not know which is true. (In this drawing, the upper warp angle is attached from the middle of the wing.)
It is reported that Aichi was considering using the same manufacturing jigs as those used for the P1Y "GINGA" for the DENKO prototype, so it is possible that the design was changed.

hallo araeashi,
many thanks.

Reading the notes more is clear regarding the engeneers intentions. To realize the gun's upper and inferior doors it should needs the work by java modder and in addition is very strange that it was projected to have a gun shooting across the pilot field of view.
At the moment i have :
2 30mm cannons and 2 20mm mguns on front position and 2 20mm mguns on the automatic rear turret.

In the following pic You can see the fuselage sections. I have tried to follow the drawings.








I will explore the possibility to realize the moving parts as detailed in the drawings.

Best regards.

Hi Dan,
Nice surprise!

Seeing the last pic, looks like you've smoothed out the nose area(?), and looks much better.

Very good WIP Z, looking like a real heavy fighter.

Thanks guys.

Cheers

"Buna Sera" Dandolo 513.

Glad to be of service. I don't know anything about computer graphics or programming, so modders like you are a great help to me. ;) 

As you say, if the machine gun in the nose of the "DENKO" is pointed up and fired, the pilot must be blinded by the flash. I wonder what the designer or the person who ordered the plane intended.

Its perfect,this plane looks beautiful
by the way,I‘ve found that Denko also has either pure black
or blackish green skin probably due to its role of a night fighter.

I downloaded those two images when I started the skinning progress and have them in the work folder. I am working on a black nightfighter skin and a few others but that's not main priority at this moment.

Most of the fuselage lines have been complete, just a few to add around the nose and tail. Wings and horizontal stabs still need work. The engines still need to be done too, but right  now they intimidate me.
