Finally done and dusted,

This Early Model 11 J1N1 Night fighter Gekko Profile is referenced as flown by Lieutenant Yukio Endo and Observer, CPO Osami Nishio based at Atsugi air base from November to January 1945.
The Yellow Chrysanthemum markings on the fuselage indicating 5 Victories and 9 probables, is in reference to a photographed painted fuselage panel either taken possibly from his aircraft or recreated for the occasion of the crews funeral.

The Victory markings were created for me by Bill N4521U and provided for this project…
A Big Thanks Again Bill.
