What Cockpit? MK VI

[Noyade]

G'day Mel.

Ki-56? Or do does your transport have four engines?

[MReyn24050]

Hi Graeme.
Not the Kawasaki Ki-56. You have the correct number of engines though, i.e. 2.

[Noyade]

number of engines though, i.e. 2.

Thanks mate. Bit of a shame, as I found a Pacific Wreck Forum that had underwater shots of the Kawanishi H6K "Tillie" which had similar control columns. I'll keep looking...

[Noyade]

Looking for Japanese absentees in your cockpit list Mel. Last stab for the moment...Tachikawa Ki-54...?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry mate not either the Tachikawa Ki-54 nor the Kawanishi H6K "Tillie".

[Noyade]

One more.

Mitsubishi Ki-57...?

Good night mate!

[RegDep]

What do we have left? Ki-105 Otori "Phoenix"?

[MReyn24050]

Graeme has it. . It is the cockpit of a Mitsubishi Ki-57 "Topsy"

The aircraft above is a MC-20-1.

This initial production the Ki-57-I had the civil and military designations of MC-20-I and Army Type 100 Transport Model 1, respectively. A total of 100 production Ki-57-Is had been built by early 1942, and small numbers of them were transferred for use by the Japanese navy in a transport role, then becoming redesignated L4Ml. A

Your control Graeme.

[Noyade]

Thanks Mel. Blind stabbing and your clues got me there.

Open House.

You have been studying the Avia Quiz Challenge aircraft I believe. The Varga Model 2150a Kachina perhaps?
