Preparing the GB of PTO that I would like to do a 6m2 zeke I found the photo that I show you according to the source says that it is Yasuo Takahashi of the 265 kokutai, the emblem is very rarely seen and I have tried to find information on both the pilot and the plane but Everything has turned out to be very general information, without verifiable data and not very specific, that's why I ask you if you can help me by giving me information.
I look for information

Well, at the moment I don't have anything clear, just some color profiles that they placed on me that only show one side of the plane.
That's hoping for a lot butWayne Little may have something for you.

Yeah I was zeroing in on the words "verifiable data" but period photos, if available, should help.

Verifying is easy with the photo if you have access to the data, from Spain these data are not easy to obtain, hence only having a source for the data is not useful for me at least, so ask for help here with the amount of information that can be gathered, with the amount of colleagues and friends that you always help, I will surely get some result, even though it is certain that it will be more than what I can get from here... even the network It is very complicated by the search logarithm which, as it is so specific, the search does not find or does not want to show anything.

It was an a6m2 , right?
Yes, I intended it.
Here are diagrams of each model.
Source: Mechanic of World Aircraft Vol.5
A6M2 "雷 (Rai or Ikazuchi = Thunder) 112" of the 265th Air Corps of IJN in service
from November 1943 to May 1944, flown by Petty Officer Yasuo Takahashi.
Thinking the service period, the propeller/spinner color would have been dark-brown.
Please let me update the profile.
Thanks

Wow, the wreckage was discovered. How cool is that? Have any artifacts of the plane been recovered?
Here are some details

Great stuff! Thanks for posting that.
My pleasure, SaparotRob.
As to the outer skin color, though this is a common knowledge for the elderly enthusiasts in Japan, Japanese groundcrew re-used the used lubricant oil to polish the surface to shine. My understanding is that original color was the standard light-grey.

Thank you very much... I'm already looking for a 6m2 to make the mascots and I've already done the decals... I just need to find the plane's registration (manufacturing number).A6M2 "雷 (Rai or Ikazuchi = Thunder) 112" of the 265th Air Corps of IJN in service
