I'd very much like to see decals for the Kawanishi N1K Shiden. New Aragon Mechanical Works has an N1k1 available, and Carlos may eventually add the Shden-kai (N1K2) as well. While I've always felt that the cleaned up N1K2 has better lines, two- thirds of all Shidens produced were N1K1s, and they saw use not only in defense of the home islands, but over the Philippines as well. 'Georges' tangled with USN PBM Mariners and PB4Y Privateers on several occasions, especially during the Okinawa campaign. Here's an N1K1 of the 341st Kokutai:

Thanks!
