No idea on the ‘SEF-28’, but this could be what the next generation for the Chinese ends up looking like. A mix of the conventional and something a little more radical.

I noticed that the Blenheim carries what appears to be “MU” for markings. Not being familiar with RAF bomber squadron markings, I’m wondering if perhaps the painting portrays the final combat action of 64 Sentai legend Major Tateo Kato. Kato-san intentionally dove his Ki-43 into the Bay of Bengal as a result of its being damaged in combat with a lone 60 sqdn Blenheim.

Try this for more detail:

Judging by the height they are at and the aspect of the OSCAR, it looks like the Japanese pilot is about to do just that; crash.

WELCOME! And dive right in…. 🙂

HAhahah yeahh so true. I think it will take another World War to have a boom like that.

Funny thing is, another world war probably will not last any where near as long as the last.

duvec is right.

The art work looks very much like that of Shigeo Koike. He has done a lot of work for Japanese model box art. Hasegawa (my favourite brand) I believe.

More on the man:

Shigeo Koike, a resident of Tokyo, is the premier box art artist for models produced by Japan’s Hasegawa Seisakusho Co. Ltd. He has completed over 200 pieces of box art, including these two F-16 pieces, for Hasegawa in his twenty years of painting for the company. His work also appears on the beautiful calendars of Fuji Heavy Industries. A collection of Koike’s aviation paintings has been published by Sony Magazines, Inc., under the title Flyover: The Works of Shigeo Koike.

Now, that would be a good book. 🙂

No system is 100% infallible. Get used to it.

Is that MAD?

Yes, on the S-3 it is. 🙂
