Is that from a Japanese movie made during the war? I saw bits and pieces of a movie about a squadron/group that were flying Ki 43's, but don't remember the name. Was pretty interesting seeing Japanese films that were the equivalent of the ones made here in the US during the war.

Herbert Tischler, The Texas Airplane Factory. The first one is ready now but with a PW R-1830 instead of a Nakajima Ha-115. Two are for sale at $1.5m. They were reverse engineered.

I think he was referring to the Oscar's legendary knock-out punch that is the same as a Sopwith Camel from WWI.

Nah. Heavier than that. Higher muzzle velocity and higher rate of fire.

Still, not even a shadow of adequate by WWII.

Cool!

I foresee the potential for a WW2 movie now.

Meanwhile, here's a diorama I built using a 1/72 Hasegawa Ki-43.
