I am impressed by the Ki-60 and Ki-87. I am not sure what type the other aircraft is in that set of photos, but all are simply amazing. The build and finish of the J8M1 is also impressive.
I am guessing the "what if" A7M3-J was built using the Fine Molds kit as a base then modified? Very cool and definitely unique.
Great job to all that displayed!

Michael, if you are asking about the plane in the middle photo by Komuro-san it is the Kawasaki Ki-88 of which only a mock-up was completed.

Thank you, I have not heard of the Ki-88. Very clever how the build represents the mock-up.

A very impressive line up. I especially liked the Type 89 Floatplane.

Komuro-san's scratchbuilt Ki-60 is wonderful; the NMF is EXCEPTIONAL, very convincing.
Best in show, however, goes to the Fugaku from Yokohama. Never mind that it's only a what-if, I love it.
