How about the real thing:



Looks to me like the "15" is yellow.

correction : the pilot's name was "Naoshi Kanno", not "Kannni".
BTW "Kani" means a crab in Japanese :D

Other info is all correct. Nice pictures :)

Wish I knew, but got a new computer about a year ago and failed to bring over my favorites list.  Pretty sure it was from a Japanese site.  I was doing searches for color pics of japanese fighters.  Trying to come up with enough for a screensaver at some point.

wow, Hammer, if you ever find that link, please post it.  I agree with you, the "15" looks yellow to me, too.
