Aichi D5A Katsuodori

Revamp of a previous model. Initially planned as a dive bomber replacement for the D3A, this model morphed through the influence of rare herbs and prescribed chemicals (apologies to Robinson) into a torpedo plane in Thai markings. Slightly damaged in an accident, during which the torpedoes shot off under the fridge-freezer to hit Schrodinger's battleship, I decided to return to previous plans and place a warload of bombs on her. I also mixed up a new batch of ID Yellow to match the lightning fuselage marking and firmly placed her back in the IJNAF. Much happier now, although I apologise for once again using Soviet bombs...no Japanese ones to hand :

I liked the original and she's equally as nice in this configuration 

[Dizzyfugu]

Very cool. I like it much - esp. the rear-facing gunner and the modified fin.

Well= Was Schrodiger's battleship sunk or not?

[TheChronicOne]

How'd I miss this?!  Oh well, better late than never! 

Looks like a million bucks, man. Mad skills.

Well= Was Schrodiger's battleship sunk or not?

Without looking the answer would be yes...

...and no.

Bit of a mystery...I think the cat has eaten the torpedoes. He was sniffing around the fridge so I pulled the thing forward. A mouse shot out, pursued, caught and munched by said feline. The torpedoes...not a sign. Disappeared...or did they morph into the mouse?

Mouse torpedo?!

This is brilliant! Bravo! Great execution - I didn't know what I was looking at to start with.

[Snowtrooper]

Certainly inspired and would almost pass as a real-world late-war Japanese bomber

Thanks for the kind comments.

Mouse situation has really blown my circuits; really annoyed as those torps are hard and expensive to source ...reminded me of this tho:

Kind of like a Japanese Skyraider or Mauler,  only  2 seater.
