Description
Though both plagued by mechanical problems and only built in small numbers because of the ongoing pressures of the war, the Raiden and Shiden both proved to be more than a match for Allied Fighters over the Pacific, and with the ongoing interest in Japanese aviation during World War 2, this is a perfectly timed release.
