Nice pic, GrauGeist!
Flying zero is always sure fantastic

BTW, I've found out an error on X-133.
If this is A6M3 model 22, the trim tab on the rudder must be moveable like A6M5's.

Rudder trim tab (A6M5):

Aileron rod cap had better be attached (for all models):

Nice catch Shinpachi. What is the segmented wire device above the tail light on the A6M5?

If you look close enough, you can see the shadow of whatever that handle is, on the white counter facing. It almost looks like a "dolly" for pulling bomb trollies (or similiar carts)...

The perspective almost makes it look like it's attached to the Zero (81-161), but it's definately in the background.

And Shinpachi, good eye, I didn't notice that before. I wonder if the guys at the CAF had to swap parts between models when they were restoring X-133.

Hi, SCook and GrauGeist
It seems a stand to support the tail.
