Good grief. What do they have against the Seafire? Even a kamikaze model gets a better pic. Check it out. :doh: :lol: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-LS-Japa ... 2163341961

Seems reasonable, they didn't have the best record when it came to landing!

The Sea Fire of course, I liked seeing the images of the parts.

kamikaze? I though a kamikaze was not a specific type, and with the exception of the Ohka aircraft were not built as kamikazes, so the credibility of the model maker there is suspect.

If the illustration is for a deck landing, I think that the ship's navigator needs a map reading refresher...those trees look awfully close! :lol:
