That's a nifty-looking fiddly bit on the tail. Looks like a flowerified snowflake.

Is that the Manchuko flag making up the roundel?

The Upper one has the OTL Manchuko roundel and the Imperial CoA

The lower one has a modified early Chinese star for a ATL Democratic Republic of Manchuria

Since no one protested, here are two SMOM aircraft that flew in support of the SMOM Navy during the siege of Acre

Some things that I've been playing with.

Nice, the Srs 1 is that a liquid cooled engine like the Ta-152 or a turboprop?

Liquid cooled with annular radiator in the nose.

The Wyvern is definitely a fairly large influence for the design.

Looking forward to what you will come up with next

What about this? Its within the +3yr guidelines, though the estimated performances might be called "optimistic" with 1050km/h predicted.

New fast unarmed bomber or the next Ala Littoria mailplane?

Vuk, that last fighter looks very good, nice and sleek.

RA, The G.55 looks good, nice and sleek looking although the radial-engined version looks a little stumpy up front.

Whay have you gone for an annular radiator? Is there much improvement with it? I can't think of many OTL successful fighters with them off the top of my head.

The twin-engined plane looks very optimistic, the tail looks too small for decent directional stability and seems very fragile for a 1,000km/h aircraft (I'm assuming around 630-640mph).

Annular radiators weren't all that common on fighters, but the Fw-190 D series and the Ta-152 were pretty solid......

The annular radiator may be a little more resistant to battle damage and it nicely groups the engine parts all together. From reading a book on aerodynamics recently, the annular configuration is one of the lowest drag configurations apart from wing radiators. I couldn't draw out wing radiators how I wanted so went for the annular radiator. Now I've revised the design so it's more like the historical G.55.

The other plane is a bomber designed by Campini with a 3000km range cruising at 750km/h at 10,000m with maximum speed of 1050km/h

Campini's design is a jet, I assume?
