This is hands down the best replica I have made yet. The first units were in 1942 and this plane was used all the way to the fall of the Japanese in 1945. Some pilots mistaked this aircraft for Messerschmitt Bf 109. This isn’t perfect. Some flaws you may notice: the ‘inlet’ on the bottom is way to small. The guns are normally on the front fuselage, on this they are in the wing. This last one is not a flaw, but on the earlier versions of this plane, the back landing gear was retractable, but on the later verions, to simplify production, the gear was fixed. Have fun!
