This should be interesting, especially after your Corsair build. I'm in!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

That's a very good video John. 17 years old and flying into battle. You could really since the connection he had to the aircraft.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

I wonder if he flew with the 343rd? That unit was the IJNAF equivalent of Adolf Galland’s JV-44, but flying the Shiden Kai. All the pilots in that unit were hand picked by Minoru Genda to fly the Shiden Kai, the best late war naval fighter, and were highly combat experienced naval aviators.
That’s a fine subject choice John.
