That looks great in Japanese markings Rob, very convincing - it could have been license built by Mitsubishi :grin:

Thanks for all the kind words.
I must admit I have a hard time thinking of a plane on which the green/grey scheme wouldn't look good (which is of course one of the reasons I tried it). Whatever else can be said of the IJN, they knew how to make a fighter look good :-D
