Sorry about the misspellings, I was just so happy to finally get one. Saw a film of it being pulled by a biplane and gliding once, I remember thinking Wow so early.

ZEKE!

Yes Ghost129er, I thought the P&W might throw you off. It is A6m3 type22 cn3869 owned by Commemorative Air Force based in Camarillo, Calif. I took this picture at Chino Ca. The plane was being overhauled and repainted.

Haha, that one looks as if someone bought two "snap'n'glue" assembly kits from IKEA, one for a Mirage III and one for a Mirage 2000, and then accidentally threw all parts together and lost the construction plan.

Just timing and pure luck.

I saw a news article on the Indian Defence military/industrial  sector ( well effectively HAL ... (   http://www.hal-india.com/Aircraft%20Division%20Bangalore/M__95    - a company that previously had mostly built aircraft under licence) and the issues surrounding the acceptance of this aircraft ... and suddenly I popped in to see it in this thread .... 

From what I read, this aircraft was a big step in in both design/technology and manufacturing for them .. and I agree it does look a bit like they had photocopied several sets of plans and got them mixed up.   

I will put up the next pic when I get home tonight.
