That is a very large amount of text to put on the side of a fighter plane … I wonder what it says.

It's like the text on Tony's orange wing thingy he just built. I think on his it means, "not enough weight, I sit on my butt"...Just a guess...

Prost

to Google Translate, the text on the side of the Ki-43-II reads “Gokoku Manzhou Oil Co., Ltd.”

Okay … according to Google Translate, the text on the side of the Ki-43-II reads “Gokoku Manzhou Oil Co., Ltd.” — that feels more like it’s a plane in an air race than a fighter in a war :smiling3:

Now the slogan does make sense. It would help if they had added “この航空機は”, though …*

He's on leave after a long patrol under the Atlantic!! (Well he looks a well scrubbed up submariner to me!!!) :thumb2: :smiling5:

 

[Mini Me]

After a month or so on a "Pig" boat on water rations with a bunch of other sweaty bodies, one would need a good scrub down and a clean change of clothing just to feel human again.....Wine and a Stogie would be the frosting on the proverbial cake...IMHO
