There is literally zero resemblance between the Ta-Go and the Ki-86 /Bu131 except for the fact they are both planes.

Ya no había aluminio, ni fabricas, ni mano de obra... Un avión de ataque 'especializado' que fuera barato, hecho por estudiantes y de madera ... perfecta solución banzai para un kamikase para cuando llegase el dia de la invasión del Japon... pero antes llegaron las bombas 'A'

This airplane was made referring to Bu131 of Germany. The total length is about 5m.

Kokusai did the licensed production of Bu131. It is called Ki-86. Ta-Go is a simple production type of Ki-86.

Please compare Ta-Go with Bu131. You might understand Ta-Go is just like Bu131.

In WWI...
A plane like this may fit well for kamikaze attacks,but it´s simplicity must be dangerous.
A single MG shot can rip one wing.

COULD THIS PLANE CARRY ANY GUNS. IT COULD BE USED AS A SIMPLE FIGHTER.
