Great work Kodama! We have the gunsight and the modelled gunports now. Gunsight makes me really easier to hit the target, thanks! No chance for the B-29s, and big help when chaseing the those pesky Mustangs. I wondering, what would be if Japanes put this plane into large scale production, equipped with Ho-5 20mm cannons use against fighters, like Mustangs, Corsairs and Lightnings. :?:

Edit: sorry, Shinden would be a IJN fighter/interceptor, not IJA. So Type 99 later/latest variants would be used on it instead of Ho-5, if it would be... I think, it would be a nice "what if?" option to add some 4x20mm cannon (with 150-200rpg) to the Shinden, making it a really top notch gunfighter against Allied fighters. Maybe Japanes would do that, if the war goes on. Maybe.

Any chance of these aircrafts, Kodama?

It is difficult... what if is very very difficult.
My what if border is there was plan or not and existing documents.

3D model of ki83 has already finished.
But it isn't stage to decide import this in il-2 or not.
All is after finishing my j7.

Beautiful Aircraft Mister Kodama Flyes just great to me. I love the design of it and
how you worked it to fly so good. Great job!

Now if only there was a void file so I could create some new skins.

Yes, J7 is very beautiful and I take care not to collapse her beauty when making 3D models.
I'm so glad to hear it.

About skins, There are rivet and uv-line tga files in .rar files. Can't it help you?

Yes it can help me Mister Kodama. This week I will create for you some new skins
for the beautiful "Shinden" ( 震電 "Magnificent Lightning")!
I will show you very soon.
Thank you for your great art and great airplane.
Dōmo arigatō :cheers:
