Is the reason the Skua is upgradeable because Tanaka plans on adding more Bong aircraft and then the ability to convert it into another type of aircraft from Blackburn?
The Firebrand seems like it would be the only candidate

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn_Firebrand

>The Firebrand did not see action in World War II, as TF 4s were not issued to 813 Naval Air Squadron until 1 September 1945

>In test pilot and naval aviator Captain Eric Brown's opinion the aircraft was "short of performance, sadly lacking in manoeuvrability, especially in rate of roll". The position of the cockpit even with the trailing edge of the wing gave the pilot a very poor view over the nose, inhibited his ability to view his target and to land his aircraft aboard a carrier, sufficient for Brown to call it "a disaster as a deck-landing aircraft".

I know that Zuiun at least has some redeeming qualities, but it would be great to see this thing be actually useful.
