As the subject says. How about a captured Nakajima being tested and evaluated in Britain? For uniformity it received usual RAF colors and squadron markings.

Cool!  Captureds are oft an intriguing might-have-been.

Loosing the canopy framing would make it look even more British.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

It does indeed  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
