| Steve, steveg(@)abkj.com, 11.09.2009 It's ironic that when the Japanese actually tried to copy a foreign design, they found that they'd bought a lemon! | | Hiroyuki Takeuchi, cxc02366(@)nifty.com, 30.01.2009 Based on the Douglas DC-4E (not the DC-4/C-54) which was imported by Japan Airlines.
Unfortunately the DC-4E was a design failure later abandoned by Douglas and consequently the G5N suffered the inherit overweight design. The Mamori engines were also problematic and later replaced by more reliable Kasei motors. These planes saw service as transports. | | Sgt.KAR98, 25.07.2008 Beautiful plane.
It could have been a headache for the allies. | | Brianboro, vaughaballaugh(@)yahoo.co.uk, 18.05.2007 Does anybody do a kit of this aircraft,i've seen a G8N1 Renzan,be nice to have one of these too? |
