Hi, Recently I realized that I have not even touched my shelves with Japanese airplanes. For some years this was my main topic resulting in more than 30 models. Many of them are very old... I would like to start Japan part of my collection with small hydroplane Yokosuka E 14 Y (Allies coded her "Glen"). I made this model about 2000. This low power observation airplane was able to be transported on Japanan submarine I-25. This was the only enemy airplane which droped bombs on the continetal territory of US during WWII (and during whole history, I guess). More about this event one can read for example in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_submarine_I-25 Model is made out of MPM (early) kit. In profile I was following it was shown, that all bright elements on airplane were roughly oberpainted (sprayed) by JN Green before the flight on 2 Sept. 1942 to bomb Oregon. The profile shown a/c with spinner, today when I am posting I've noticed in photo on above linked Wike page, that spinner was removed. Pilot name was N.Fujita. Comments welcome regards Jerzy-Wojtek
