Awesome! Be great to see some more Jap warbirds. Think we've got enough Italian ones now......

Might be, but this is a referance thread for specific aircraft, not the wish for thread.
Here it is only about the Nakajima E8N1

Both of them have my vote

Yeah, the Br.20 would be nice too - they were used for night raids against Malta quite a lot, great for Hurrie 11c nightfighter missions.

Well if people are interested in referance material for that aircraft I can open a new tread, and post what I have on that plane.
