I will admit.. when I'm not flying for Uncle Adolf I'm on the other side of the world helping out his allies

B7A would be a wonderful addition to Il-2. I'm sure many Pacific War fanatics miss this plane as much as I do.

I'm sure many Pacific War fanatics miss this plane as much as I do.

A fast torpedo-dive bomber with 20mm cannons can only be fun to fly!

[SAS~Bombsaway]

I hope he releases it. I really like this plane.

[mac1]

His models are all superb looking creations too

[max_thehitman]

Looks very interesting, like a giant kamikazi airplane with big guns. Look at the size of the people
next to it.
Yep, seems like fun.
If Damawo http://damawo.blog99.fc2.com/ is working on this aircraft, I am sure
it will be something really cool and special. He has created some really great Mod-planes
in the past.
BANZAI !

BTW Where I can see WIP of JapanCat's A7M? 

[Kopfdorfer]

This plane is so sleek she should only be known by her Allied code name "Grace".
Good luck.

Good name!  It fits her to a "T".  Pretty.
