I have noted that the Ki-61-1-KAIc, which is my main interest at the moment, had a fuselage that was increased by 7.5'', 20mm in the fuselage and a fixed tail wheel.
Question: Did this extra 7.5'' make it one of the long-nosed variety that is mentioned then?
Despite reading up on this aircraft all day, I remain confused which were the so-called short nosed and long nosed variety....it's been a loooong day
