i'm just messing, i know they are different - its the big radial engines and big canopies that make em look similar.

Uh, there are better aviation artists out there than Shigeo. How about Robert Taylor and Roy Grinnell? Check out some of their work.

Ah yes, the Ki-100... My favorite Japanese fighter of WWII. They kick bellybutton at high altitude.

Robert Taylor doesnt have the same sense for detail and I like Koike Shigeo's sky a bit better.

And your opinion of Roy Grinnell?
