Ron,

 

Is the handle bakelite material?? The material looks similar to an AK-47 bayonet handle that I have...

 

Impressive to see from the Japanese.. Seen quite a few from US and German aircraft but not Japanese..

 

Thank you for showing us

One of those buttons is the guns? What's the other?

I am making a WAG, Injecting the Methanol/Water mixture for additional bursts of power when needed quickly?
