Greetings to everyone and here I am with another part of my Japanese odyssey. We are slowly coming to the end. If you're wondering what's still to come, there are 6 more aircraft types (including today's), with the last one probably being a big surprise.
And then I have one more special bonus planned. Keep your fingers crossed that I can make it happen as I plan it.

And now today's model. It will be simple. A fast C6N1 Saiun reconnaissance aircraft. There will be three reconnaissance machines and one fighter.

- Nakajima C6N1 Saiun (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 141. Kokutai, Banban AB, Phillipines, March 1945)
- Nakajima C6N1 Saiun (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 343. Kokutai, 4. Teisatsu Hikotai, Matsuyama AB, Japan, March 1945)
- Nakajima C6N1 Saiun (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 762. Kokutai, 11. Teisatsu Hikotai, Kanoya AB, Japan, April 1945)
- Nakajima C6N1-S Saiun (Nippon Kaigun Kōkūtai, 302. Kokutai, 3. Hikotai, Kaigun-chūi, Hiroshi Yasuda, Japan, June 1945)
