Possibly a TBD to my eye. The oil cooler & landing gear seem to match to me. The "bomb holder" could be the cockpit rollover structure. Mac

Lee, Sorry if I'm spamming you. Here is the proper orientation for the long vertical label on the top light portion of the electrical panel. 左 脚 尾 脚 右 脚 Mac

My pleasure. I don't know if you need this or not, but here is the same info as above with a different orientation and also with the label written with two lines. I checked with my wife and that would be the proper place for the second line to start. That's assuming that those two labels were...

Lee, I do believe these are the correct labels for the two red handles. I think that they were stamped on the label in two lines. If they were, I don't know which character would start the second line. Possibly after 出. This would break it down to the first four characters on the top line...

Lee, Hope you can understand this and it helps. I'll work on the two red handles later today. Mac

Thanks, mj. Mac

mjfur, would you mind sharing the source for the photos that you included in this post? Lee, sorry to butt in on your post. Thanks, Mac

Thanks for the info, Greg. I wonder if Legend Flyers would be able to answer that question since they were going to use an original engine in their A6M3-32. Mac

I'm also seeing a -3 due to the cutouts in the armor plate. Mac

Attached are panel label JPGs from Taizo Nakamura's Twitter page (x.com). They are a different shape & color than the ones added by mjfur & Versuch to your post. Don't know why they are different, Mitsubishi versus Nakajima, A6M2 versus A6M5? I have more info for you, but too much for posting...

Thanks for the info Shinpachi and Michael. Mac

Can anybody tell me the length of a single propeller blade from an A6M2-21, A6M3-22/32 and of one from an A6M5. I know the diameter of the props, but I'm looking for the length of single blades. TIA, Mac

Hi Tom, Thanks for the info. Sounds like you have a real interesting job and are in a good win-win situation to boot. Your job helps you with your hobby and your hobby has improved your abilities at work. If I can teach myself 1% of Solidworks I'll be doing pretty good. Actually though...

Tom, Thanks for your reply. I sent this link to my Nephew. He is very much into 3D printing and was blown away by your work. He'd like to know what printer you are using? Your reply also piqued my curiosity on what you do for a living. I'm looking forward to see more of your work. I'm currently...

Wow, what an awesome project. The amount of work that you've put into it and the amount of detail is incredible. Please keep us posted as you continue your work. Mac
