A
small sampling of the many stencilled markings on the Aichi Seiran.
Ed Mautner meticulously traced original markings, made the stencils,
and applied them to many locations all over the airplane.

For the first time in over 50 years, the Aichi Seiran
is about to have its wings attached. This has been a difficult process
because of the quality of the design and manufacturing of this aircraft
at the end of World War II.
