Lore:

The RK-04 is a Japanese fighter plane built in 1930, designed for WW2. It is noticeable by its asymmetrical design, which was the idea of a unknown Japanese designer. Rumors say the design is for proof of concept. How the plane is balanced is by weight, the other wing is heavier than the other, the other one is lighter. It was a secret project at development stages, and was rumored to be spotted in the skies at nearby military bases. In 1942, an unknown aircraft had taken out 5 B-17’s during an oil rig raid, and studies proved this aircraft had done so. It was based off the Japanese Zero, but was much slower, but had more effective weaponry loadout. It was still used until 1970, 50 models made in total. 10 were saved for air shows, and the rest were held in museums.
