Information wanted on this 'Foo-Fighter', the Nagoya-Sento Ki-001

Hi,

I am looking for further information than is currently available on the "Nagoya-Sento Ki-001 -"Ben"" which was one of several non-existant aircraft ("Foo-fighter") the US listed in Japanese service.

All the information I have so far is both that contained in the attached graphic and several variations of the quote below, which comes from the page of someone who created a model of the aircraft based on a three-view in WWII identification book (Which must have been published between 1942--43).

If anyone can give me a pointer to more information such as the claimed armament, speed, maximum height and range, I will be very happy.

 

The Nagoya-Sento Ki 001 was a "foo" or non existing fighter. After the Pearl Harbor attack the military intelligence collected every piece of downed Japanese aircraft they could find. From that operation they came up with this aircraft. They found a manufacturing plate with the words Nogoya Sento, they thought that was a manufacturer, but it was a plant location. From the wings and tail group, it looks like they found parts of an Aichi type 99 Val. It was 1943 before the war department figured out there was no such a plane.

According to this , arnament and speed should be the ones of the Aichi type 99 Val .

 

It's hard to say what they found with the details given, as both Mitsubishi & Aichi had aircraft plants in the city, so the city was producing both the Zero and the Val.

From these basic model plans from 1942

The dimensions given are more in-line with the Zero, than the Val, as the Val had a much larger wing span(47'2") as opposed to the Zero's(37'4").

FYI, model plans from 1942 can be found here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1265873&page=522#post20300193
But, no other useful information is there.
