Very nice.  Will be fun to use this as a break from heavier, more serious things.

Thank you, HTC.   :aok

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Armament options will probably be a one 7.7mm and one 12.7mm gun or two 12.7mm guns in the cowl.  I think it could carry two 250kg bombs, but I am not certain of that.  It was also the most lightly built of all WWII fighters, so far as I know.  No protection of any kind and not as structurally sound as the A6Ms.

On the other hand it should be insanely maneuverable.  Take a plane that is already better turning than the A6M2 with a better roll rate and give it fowler flaps like the P-38s and Ki-84 have.

This may be splitting hairs but i'd like to see this variant appear too :pray  

it's pretty significant enough that this variant is ~20 mph faster (see exhaust stacks)

YES!!!! WAY TO GO HTC!!!! This is GREAT news!    :aok

 This certainly goes a LONG way in filling out the Japanese plane set, there are only 1-2 more glaring gaps to fill.   ;)

Nice plane but what's with the clothes line stretching from front to back? Is that so the pilot can hang his soiled undies out to dry?
