Heck,don't shoot it down. I'll take it.

I'd shoot it down its a Nakajima G5N Shinzan. Experimental Japanese heavy bomber - about 5 built.

WAY TO GO, you got it, they bought a DC-4 from the USA and roughly copied it.

in doubt, shoot it down and take the complaints later for friendly fire

That was a real head-scratcher, Zwerge - Had me totally stumped!

I didn't think it looked German (first thoughts was of a product from the Junkers stable), but I never knew the Japanese had a "heavy".

Keep 'em coming - These are fun!

Here`s a 3D view of it.

I agree it was a good challenge, the aircraft design was scaped being underpowered, creating slow flight and rate of climb, it proved very susceptable to enermy fighters.
