Enjoyed putting this one together but some of these parts and decals are just so small. The aircraft was the mount of Major Saburo Shindo. As a lieutenant he was a squadron leader in the attack on Pearl Harbour and is credited with sending the Tora Tora Tora message that the raid had been successful. He rose through the ranks and survived the war settling in Hiroshima. He managed a mine for a while before moving to become a manager at a car company which later becomes Mazda. He died of natural causes in 2000.
