You can find pictures of the 201st aircraft but they are zero's and not the N1K1 which I beleive is a rarer picture.

Jun 10, 2009 Thread starter #32 Amsel Tech Sergeant 1,538 17 Jul 15, 2008 Texas Here is an update of progress. Things are going slow due to work, but I'm miles ahead compared to the last GB. Cockpit photos( sorry for the blurrieness ) Airframe coming together, trying to fix the gaps with putty. Painted a polished aluminunm undercoat to help aid in the weathering process.
