Ahoy mates!

My I-400 reference book just came in today.



I was surprised to find out that for the mission against Ulithi anchorage, the Japanese painted the Seiran aircraft silver and marked it with US insignia. This would be interesting for my I-401 for the Forgotten Sisters campaign.

The Japanese were very tricky during the war. They also had some very good ideas that just never got off the ground. Like using the I-400’s to attack the Panama Canal.

Your I-401 will certainly be a nice looking build, I am looking forward to it.

I sure can Jose. Let me give it a good look over this weekend and I'll write something up.
