Can't we stop torturing ourselves...? (Maybe Corgi will do it...in 2010.)

A Yamamoto G4M1 Betty would be a good one too..
But i have seen at least 2 different models of them ...One had the white box with the red circle on the fuse of the plane and another with just the red circle with white outlines on the fuse...But both had the red circle with white outlines on the wings...and of course the tail number T1-323 or 323.

Yep, I definitely want one.....now, the second question is, will I be able to afford one......

Although there is no known photograph of this Betty when it went down, it is believed by most historians that the fuselage insignia was a hinamaru over a white square. The upper surfaces of the wings had the typical hinamaru with the white circular border. This is based on photographs of a sister aircraft taken around the time Yamamoto was killed.

Slide are there any good color profiles of his Betty 323 ?

Oh i could name a few too. Like a Ki-21 Sally, Ki-48 Lilly , Ki-46 Dinah , Ki-67 Peggy, G3M Nell, G8N Rita (only 4 were ever built) or a P1Y2-S Frances.

I'd get one if it had an ohka suicide rocket underneath

[aeroeng]

Yes. But only if it's 1:48 scale.

All the ones you listed would make excellent looking models. The Frances would be a real sharp looking and could even get a night fighter out of it too..
