Well Tora Tora anyway... I guess Game Plan could not use the full 3 Tora (or Tiger in Japanese) used as the code phrase for the successful surprise of Pearl Harbor because of the movie copyrights. I'm thinking of converting it into a Space Invaders as the cab is very similar. Just kidding :D

Anyway here it is one of the coolest cabs ever especially if you're a ww2 nut like me. Those cool Kate torpedo bomber and the Zero on fire both emblazoned with those big red meatballs. The cool battle wagons taking hits. The art work just really kicks ass even the stenciled side art. I've been waiting on this one to show for a few weeks and now here it is! Needs a few light bulbs and a tiny bit of touch up but works great. Little John's is officially out of space now.

That is beautiful, thanks for sharing!

FYI - I saw a desert fox for sale at the pheasant run coin op show here in IL just this past season. Want me to get contact info?
 
Let me be first to congratulate you on your awesome find. Must be a great feeling. Looks bitchin'!

Edit: Ok, let me be second to congratulate you. ;)
 
I've never even heard of the game before, but that cabinet alone is an amazing find. Congratulations! Guess I'll have to see if it's emulated in MAME and if so check it out...
 
Sweet score dude.....that cabinet looks awesome...side art is wicked.....the glass is magic....I would happily have that cab in my home as I am WW2 junkie as well....I would even by a Robert Bailey print to put on the wall above the game.

It is and it is nothing like playing the real game. You get the idea but for some reason the way it is emulated it is virtually unplayable.
 
Beautiful cab... wonder how many are left in the wild...

If you really want a Space Invaders, I'm sure someone would happily trade you for it :D

Looks a little different than the one on KLOV...

Woah! That is amazing! I love that cabinet artwork. That is really a nice, rare pick-up. How's the gameplay?

I'm just starting to getting it. It is not a real easy game and kinda Space Invaders meets Sea Wolf. This one will take a while for me to become OK at.

Yeah I'll take some nice pics and upload them as you can see the art is painted over on the KLOV example.
