I wish Japanese got hold of the In-line engine line Me109 or spitfire, I wonder want would be the outcome

[ra301]

@MegaARAVINDHAN You mean V, rather than inline, right? They did indeed. You may want to search for Ki-61, which used the same engine as Me109, produced under license. I haven't read many good things about the reliabilities of Japanese liquid-cooled engines (and the planes that used them). Many factors contributed to this, including the lack of critical raw materials (nickel?). The fact that Japanese people had introduced to industrialiazed world just 70 years earlier had to do with this as well.

ゼロ戦に乗ってたパイロットが見たら、セルモーターは絶対に欲し­かったと断言するでしょう。

多少の重量が重くなっても、前線では重宝したと思います。

@yamamoto285

異論なしです。できるだけ当時の姿で見たいというセンチメンタリ­ズムと、用兵上の利便性は別モンですから。

当時セルがどれだけ使える物だったのかわかりませんが、どれを殺­して、どれを生かすか、設計は難しいものです。

ところで、今年のショーは再来週末です。またいってきます。

@MrAnton275 I already had tht question answered. But i give you "props" on answering it agian... Props.. lol

[MrAnton275]

@MrJp990 The Zero has but im not sure if the Val does...

[MegaARAVINDHAN]

@ra301 Vow Ki-61 ya. I will check that, I thought in-line would generally mean V arrangement. How did u know about this plane. My guess U from japan or a great fan of Zero's. Any how thanks for the reply

[MrJp990]

@ra301 hey just as long as its got its sakae 14 cyl. engine

[ra301]

@MrJp990 I cannot really tell. The 7.7mm guns looked pretty real from the cockpit.

[MrJp990]

@nsx4life2008 Oh and does the Zeke have the guns on it still?

[MrJp990]

@nsx4life2008 Come to think of it, ive seen that Zeke somewhere... I think it was on my vacation from Pennsylvannia to Duxford... I cannot remember though...

[nsx4life2008]

@MrJp990 Zeke is 100% original. D3A Val is 100% fake , it's just a T-6 made to look like a Val.
