Title: Yokosuka NFG N1K-2J
Post by: Greebo on August 23, 2022, 02:46:59 AM

Including the default I have only ever skinned three N1K-2s up until now, all from the 343rd NFG. This has been due to there being no usable RL photos of aircraft from other combat units flying the type. However a few days ago I found an acceptable image of this one in a video of US Marines occupying Japan at the end of the war.

This N1K-2J was found amongst a group of other aircraft types by US marines when they occupied the Japanese naval base at Yokosuka. In common with all aircraft from the Yokosuka Naval Fighter Group it carried a reverse letter "E" on its tail which phonetically is the Japanese character "Yo".

Looks perfect.  I especially like the composition of the first screen shot, with the hangar in the background.
