Quickest/best way to get some more Japanese strike aircraft into the game

[Buren]

Don't forget that there are few very detailed japanese monograph series (e.g: Maru Mechanic, Famous Aircraft of the World etc.).

Most Maru Mechanic issues have detailed drawings and/or paintings of cockpits not found on google image search for example.

Just need to get hold on the issues...

Well, I know how to get some of those books, but I think there would be dire consequences if I would post it here. But anyway, I think everyone knows what Im talking about.

Books I found from Maru Mechanic series:

Ki-67 Hiryu, D3A, D4Y Suisei, P1Y & G4M, J2M Raiden & N1K Shiden, Ki-21, C47 (L2D), and B6N.

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.
