Auto Credit Based on LieutenantSOT's WW2 (Fictional) Fighter Challenge! [CLOSED]

THE FOLLOWING IS FICTIONAL. NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT.
In the spring of 1944 the Imperial Japanese Navy put out a requirement for a new meduim fighter/ interceptor to replace their decimated fleets. In anticipation of the expected US invasion, they required an aircraft capable of intercepting enemy bomber groups and destroying both their fighter escorts and the bombers thenselves. The high command chose a design by Nakatomi Aircraft. The design was heavily armed and armored for a Japanese fighter of the time. The engineers jammed a Mitsubishi Kasei 14 cylinder engine under the cowl, making 1850 horsepower. This allowed the plane to break the 400 mph mark in an attempt to be competitive with the fastest American fighters of the time. The plane was named Teikaitsu, which means cyclone or windstorm. Unfortunately it came too late to save Japan from it's fate. By the end of the war very few aircraft had been produced. They were popular for air racing post war, which unfortunately led to the destruction of all the remaining airframes. None survive today. The allied reporting name for the fighter was Jimmy.

    @Skyhawkarmy idk you just gotta mess around with the shapes until it looks the way you want. Use lots of pictures and reference material. There's not really any hard and fast rules or methods. That's what makes this game so awesome! Think of it like Lego. You have to figure out how to use the limited shapes you have to make the unique shapes you want

    @Jaspy109 I'm not sure if that's a uniquely British design. If so oh well umm we will say that Japanese spies were stealing British aircraft secrets and they decided they liked that stick design.
