Our Japanese cousins

[Joe C-P]

I can't read a lick of it, but there's a bunch of images of what-if planes, ships and even some armor under the various links on this page.

Site named Warbirds

Hey Joe,
Thats one hell of a site, loads of ideas. In the past I've never been that intrested in Japanese aircraft but now            
Thanks and all the best
Steve

WON-DER-FUL !!!      
Several twin-boomers that I had never seen, an He-162 seaplane and so many other marvels...
I will contact my Japanese friend to understand more, even if he cannot translate all for everyone... BabelFish from Japanese to English gives an Error
Saving the pictures on our machine provides a first name for each drawing, but I hope to undestand more.
Thanks a lot, dear JoeP, I should come back here more often...

Yes, I have seen this one, completing your own creations, Ollie... Alas, too late for my book Virtual Mustangs. Too bad.
(Last week I have also found 2 drawings missing in my collection, silhouettes before the NA-73-X : I had 2 of them, but not these 2 additionnal ones, different. Too bad also).

7 named C4K, nanpu, harpy, Ki69, hokai, enrai, godenk - I will see on the Net if I find something about them elsewhere...

Ki69 - I will see on the Net if I find something

The "real" Ki-69 was a long range Ki 67 from Nakajima or Misubishi, twin-engined but not twin-fuselage, so sad... The other names provide nothing, it seems they are completely fiction dreams. It would be nice to invite these Japanese dreamers among us, according to me.

I liked the look of this little baby, the Kawanishi D5K Dive-Bomber Keisei
Now somewhere in my stash is Whirlwind, fit a pair of new engines, alter the tail and fit a Me110 canopy

Thanks a lot, dear Aircav, I had not seen this one and so I have checked the whole site again. Finding not less then 12 new twin-boomers! Happyness...

Now that one looks like you could come real close combining the canopy and cockpit of a Me110 with the first version XF5F-1 "Skyrocket".

Further checking and more surprises : 8 other twin-boomers!!!

Incredible, a last examination provided more and more twin-boomers (D4M1, D4M2, XP-76, XB-20). This site is a gold mine... Thanks again and again.
