Ki-100 was simply a modded Ki-61, yet who knew that switching from a German-licensed Kawasaki Ha-40 inverted V-12 to a Japanese radial engine would have birthed a competitive fighter to both P-51s and F6F Hellcats. Revving up her single 14 cylinder Mitsubishi Ha-112-II radial engine from nearby, she pridefully expresses her power.

You aren’t looking at a Ki-61! I’m Ki-100, and unlike my under-powered Ki-61 sister, I proved to the Allies the engineering might of Imperial Japan!
