Very nice result, as always!

I don't think the Aichi M6A and the Kawasaki K-61 had much in common besides that DB601 engine.

Strong family resemblance to the Aichi D4Y2 Suisei “Judy”

Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley

Thanks Stik, yeah, I don't know much about these. Did the Judy sport a DB engine? I have no clue. I know the Tony did. Thanks for the kind words.
