True. There's a lot of stuff that non-Japanese speakers miss. I'm also sure that there are technical reports on captured planes and possibly even original manuals which aren't available online.
The U.S. Air Force and the Japanese conspired destroy a lot of factory documents and original records, but at least some stuff must survive.
Japanese modders like Western and JapanCat probably have much better access to this information. After all, if plastic model manufacturers can create cockpits and interiors for these planes there must be some information available.
