The Little World

Lt. Sushi, the pilot of this Nakajima fighter, would have gotten a far more colourful livery if the decals had cooperated.

As it is, he is flying the Marie Kondo model with minimal decoration. The ICM stripes and lightning flashes largely disintegrated when placed in the water.

I am annoyed at this but resigned to the fact. If I ever get another such a decal sheet as cannot be replaced, I shall try to overcoat the fragile things with lacquer before attempting to use them. At least the tail numbers and the meatballs came off in one piece.

The Ki-27 is parked, under maintenance, with the cockpit open for airing and the engine cowl balanced on a wing. Everyone has gone off for lunch and now would be the time to sneak up and cut the spark plug wires. Or better yet- steal them to maintain another plane.

It’s all fun in the Imperial Japanese Army.
