	Kawanishi N1K Shiden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Kawanishi N1K2-J Shiden Kai (Violet Lightning Modified) is generally rated as being one of the finest land-based fighter planes fielded by the Japanese during the Pacific War.
		Shidens also equipped the 343rd Kokutai the First Air Fleet based at Tinian, and were later based at Shikoku in Japan in defense of the home islands during the spring of 1945.
		Shiden Kai fighter aircraft were also ordered into production from the Dai-Nana Kokuki Seisakusho (7th Airframe Works) of the Mitsubishi Jukogyo K. at Tsurashima, from the Aichi Kokuki K. at Eitoku, from the Showa Hikoki K. at Shinonoi, and from the Naval Air Arsenals at Hiro, Omura, and Koza.

		The Shiden had the floats replaced with a landing gear with tailwheel, and the Mitsubishi Kasei was replaced with the Nakajima Homare.
		In a performance comparisson this source analyses the Shiden as a plane with excellent speed, althought the Mustang and the Corsair both were faster (as was the Frank (Ki-84) at medium altitudes).
		The Shiden however had far better high speed handling than the Frank, and can compete with the Corsair in that regard, the Corsair and the Shiden are 'close'.

	Netwings - "George"
		The N1K1 Shiden, Allied code name George, was a land based version of the Kyofu floatplane.
		The Shiden was a private venture to develop what the Kyofu designers felt would be a very high performance fighter capable of outperforming the current fighters.
		The Shiden was a welcome addition but had several faults, such as bad brakes and a weak undercarriage.

	Absolute Anime / Mobile Suit Gundam / Kai Shiden
		Kai Shiden is the pilot of the RX-77 Guncannon, crew member of White Base and none to proud of these facts either.
		Side Notes: Kai never really enjoyed piloting the Guncannon, but he also never bothered to try and pilot the Gundam or the Guntank, or even a fighter, so it can be guessed that after he learned how to work the Guncannon, he did not want to spend the effort learning how to use anything else.
		He seems to love to pick on Hayato the most, being much younger and smaller then him, and also because they tend to work together the most as backup for the Gundam.

		Eight factories were planned to mass produce this aircraft, but the aircraft (B-29) that the Shiden Kai was designed to destroy nixed those plans by destroying most of the factories.
		The Shiden Kai had a top speed 369 MPH @ 18,370 Ft. similar to that of the F6F-5 Hellcat with a top speed of 380 MPH @ 23,400 Ft., but it had heavier fire power with its four 20 mm cannon.

	Unknown Shiden? - FH Forum
		Its interesting that the Shiden was known as a very maneuverable aircraft with a special automatic flap system to increase its agility in dogfight.
		In December of 1941, the Kawanishi engineering team proposed to their management that it might be a good idea to produce a land-based version of the company's N1K1 Kyofu seaplane fighter.
		The Shiden was extremely maneuverable - a fact which is not present at the SH-Shiden.

		In battle over Formosa (Taiwan), the Philippines, Okinawa, and the home islands, Shiden pilots acquitted themselves well but this excellent airplane was another good design that appeared too late and in too few numbers to reverse Japan's fortunes in the air war.
		The airplane was stored at the Paul Garber Facility until NASM loaned it to the Champlin Fighter Museum in Mesa, Arizona, for restoration in December 1991 and the project was completed in November 1994.
		The restored Shiden Kai wears the colors and markings of the 343rd Kokutai, a unit stationed at Omura Naval Air Station in 1945.

		At the same time the quality of the paint was no better or worse than anything the allies or germans were using.
		Since the Shiden Kai I've painted were based in Japan and were introduced fairly late in the the war...
		I took it that the paint would be chipped but wouldn't necessarily be weathered to the degree some of the overseas based aircraft were.

		Another of the White Base's crew of civilian recruits, Kai is a confirmed coward and cynic - the smart-mouthed fl sheep of the White Base crew.
		While his fellow pilots are struggling to save the ship, Kai can often be found cowering behind them, or mocking them from the sidelines.
		Still, he'll do his part when he must, and as the series continues Kai begins to understand what he and his comrades are fighting for.

	Hasegawa 1/72 N1K2-J 'George'
		While the Kawanishi N1K1-J "Shiden" was at the time of its introduction the outstanding fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy and remained a potent adversary throughout the rest of the war, the aircraft had a number of shortcomings that Kawanishi sought to rectify.
		Chief among these was the unreliability of the Homare 21 engine, while the wheel brakes were so bad the aircraft was often landed on grass next to a paved runway to reduce the landing roll without brakes.
		Kanno first saw combat in the N1K1-J Shiden with the original 343rd Air Group during the invasion of the Marianas in June 1944.

		GEORGE (N1K2-J) The Kawanishi N1K2-J Shiden Kai (code named "George" by Allied forces) was considered the Japanese Navy's best operational fighter.
		A prototype was flown in December 1943, delivered to the Navy in April 1944, and designated Navy Interceptor Fighter Shiden Kai (Violet Lightning Modified) Model 21.
		It was adopted by the Japanese Navy as their standard land-based fighter and fighter-bomber, and placed into production at several locations.

		While there are some very nice color profiles of the mount of this squadron, the Kawanishi N1K2-Ja Shiden Kai and some fl and white aircraft photos, most of the photographs in this book are of the pilots (both Japanese and Americans) who fought in and against the 343 Kokutai (Naval Air Group).
		There is a very short section in the appendix on the color scheme of the Shidens flown by the "Squadron of Aces", but it basically comes down to green or grey or green over bare metal.
		This book is the story of this unit, its men and machines, and the (in retrospect) hopeless battle it fought against both the allies and their own supply and production systems.

	N1K2-J George by Ian Robertson (Hasegawa 1/48) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The N1K2 Shiden Kai "Violet Lightning", better known to the allies as "George", was one of Japan's best wartime fighters (at least in potential).
		The land-based "George" evolved from the N1K1 Kyofu "Rex" floatplane fighter which was developed in the early 1940's for the invasion of Pacific islands where airbases were nonexistent.
		In response to these deficiencies, the N1K2-J Shiden Kai was drastically redesigned into a simpler aircraft with 23,000 fewer parts than the N1K1, including a low-mounted wing, shorter landing gear, and new tail.

		From looking at the characteristics of the two planes, they seem pretty evenly matched and I question the description of teh engagement.
		Ens K. Muto was flying an evaluation Shiden-kai in a large air combat over Tokyo area 16 Feb 1945 (before the unit started regular ops with it).
		I think all we can say is the Shiden was a comparable plane to the F6F and F4U.

		The combination of the larger four bladed prop (which replaced the original 3 bladed one from the Kyofu) to get the most horsepower out of the Homare 11 radial engine and the higher mounted mid wing called for some exceptionally long landing gear for ground clearance.
		The case of too little too late certainly applied here but considering the deteriorating condition of the war around them and the extensive damage of the B29 raids on the factories the Shiden-Kai proved effective against it's attackers and things might have been different had it been available earlier in the war.
		MPM makes a couple of Shiden kits as well but these are more on the limited run side and also I believe one of their earlier efforts.

		It's not until the ship's arrival in Belfast, where he first deserts the ship and then smuggles a comely Zeon spy aboard, that Kai finally makes up his mind which side he's on.

		But when the engine and aircraft systems worked well, the Shiden Kai was a formidable adversary.
		Equipped with automatic combat flaps and four 20mm cannons, in the hands of a skilled pilot the Shiden Kai could hold its own in a dogfight against most US fighters.
		The cockpit interior was the first area to be attacked, and it quickly became apparent that the kit supplied parts bore little resemblance to reality.

		It's in this capacity that he meets up with AEUG agent Reccoa Londo in the jungles of South America.
		Once Reccoa is reunited with her comrades Kai returns to his day job, leaving only a pithy note for his old friend Hayato pointing out AEUG pilot Quattro Vagina's rather transparent secret identity.
