I visited a beautifully restored Kyofu at what was then the Nimitz Museum at Fredericksburg, Texas, USA (now called The Museum of the Pacific War, I think). Greg Springer had documented its original paint carefully, as did David Aiken, to guide its re-paint, before it was repainted, and your model really rings that bell. Sadly both those men are gone now. <br /><br />Thanks for the rare background on the operational use of the type, very interesting with many details new to me. A great post.
