I don't think the Aichi M6A and the Kawasaki K-61 had much in common besides that DB601 engine.lawdog114 wrote:It was powered by the German DB 601 Bf109 engine, license built in Japan. I guess it was basically a Ki-61 with floats. That's the extent of my knowledge of this subject.

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.Stikpusher wrote:Gorgeous work there again Lawdog. Although being a multi seat attack bomber aircraft, rather than a single seat fighter, I’d compare it to being more of a Judy on floats than a Tony. It’s always a treat to see your builds, and I do love how you include a few in progress shots alongside the finished project photos.
