Gorgeous!
Perfect is the enemy of Finished. I presume. I've never achieved either.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Of the German 'tech transfer' possibilities, the He162 seems (at least to me) to be the stronger candidate for production.  And Kawasaki ditching the Ki-60/Ki-61 projects in 1941 in favour of license-built MC.202s.

The next build will be called either 頭突き Zudzuki (headbutt), or 神槍 Kami yari (divine spear).... Not sure which is most fitting  :o
