Well done Panzerknacker!!!
Honestly I just wanted to cancel my quiz but you answered.
So, it is your turn!
My turn to to ask…? Okay :lol:
What plane is this ?:
Hard to tell…Zero?!
Not exactly…is japanese allright
Ki 44?
Sorry but …no.
Is the Nakajima Ki-84 “Hayate”, known as Frank by the allied forces. It was considered the best Jap-army fighter from all the war, and it was the answer to the north american P-51 Mustang.
Not a Ki.84 - no air intake under the nose & wrong canopy.(Mind you, “artistic licence” might plat a part ).
Casi… :lol:
Sorry Aguila… but is not the Hayate, check the side turbocharger, it maybe can help you to recognize the aircraft.
Pretty close aniway.
Yeah, you are right… I thought that the artist didn’t notice the air intake and he removed it. Sorry!
I don’t know what to say, if it is not a Ki-84, so I would say Kawanishi N1KJ-2 “Shiden Kai”, but I don’t think that could be the Shiden Kai.
Maybe this pic could help:
Was it a captured P 47 D THUNDERBOLT, or a copy thereof?
Nakajima Ki-87: experimental, high altitude fighter.
The Turbo gave it away - not too clear what it was in the 1st pic.
That is right Topor, good job ¡¡¡ 8)
Now you guys can test the old Panzerknacker.
We (the UK) turned one into a slug & the other into a World Beater.
Name both(US products).
