Kawasaki Ki-78 Ken-3 Video discovered!!!

Footage of the Kawasaki Ki-78 (Ken3) has been unearthed and is absolutely amazing!
Here's the link for the video and the story of the discovery.
Most probably the pilot is Kataoka who did the reccord flight reaching 699.9km/h.
Special thanks to Gary Wenko for the heads-up.

    Thank you for posting this and the other recent videos.
    Out of interest, Platz are reissuing their 1/72nd scale model of Ki-78 with updated decals. It's quite expensive though, price is over ¥7000.
