This package contains alternative textures for the Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden (Jack) by Tim "piglet" Conrad. The textures show the aircraft flown by the Japanese pilot Yoshihiro Aoki.
Res. Lt (JG) Yoshihiro Aoki was istructor with Tainan Kokutai (II) in 1944 in Formosa/Taiwan.
On July 15, 1944 he flew first Raiden 21 from Atsugi AB to Tainan AB.
Aoki scored 2 victories on 12. October 1944 during defence of Formosa against US Navy units.
In December Aoki was transferred to Kokutai 352 in Japan as leader of unit´s 3. Buntai (Division). The 2 lightnings on the fuselage identify Buntai leader.
Starting point for this repaint was the included paintkit by Piglet.
I want to thank Tim "Piglet" Conrad for his great model and the included paintkit. I also want to thank Martin Wright for his great graphic tools. And I want to thank the guys from Sim-Outhouse for encouraging me to do these repaints.
Enjoy,
