Mitsubishi A6M Fighter

I will add the development and history of the Zero here in the future.
In the mean time, below are images I scanned from a plastic model magazine from 1970.
The profiles below are by an artist named Sydney P. Chivers.
A6M2 Model 21
A6M3 Model 32
A6M5 Model 52
A6M5-K Trainer
A6M5 Model 52, Night Fighter
A6M5 Model 52
I would live to have someone hire me to paint one of these fighters for you.
I could do a good job with the Zero.
I have only painted one Zero which is above.
Below are profiles I scanned form the Osprey Zero Ace Book. If you do not have one, buy one, they are great!
I recommend that everyone buy the Osprey book series.
Great example of the weathered conditions that the aircraft faced in the field.
