Nice info Wayne! ,big surprise for me

 

[Catch22]

Very nice! For some reason it looks bigger to me than 1:48.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks very much for the info Wayne, that's given me a great insight to a hitherto 'hazy' subject, great stuff! So, modelling is educational!

 

[Trebor]

wow! I never knew that about the Zero!

 

[Wayne Little]

Next up the A6M2a Model 11, made it's first appearance in China where it rapidly gained total air superiority over the Chinese.

 

[Trebor]

gorgeous zeke, there!

 

[Matt308]

The flourescent lighting is not too flattering to the gloss finish. To bad. Looks nice.

 

[Airframes]

I agree with Matt.

 

[Catch22]

Yeah, same. Still looks great!

 

[109ROAMING]

Nice Zero!

 

[Screaming Eagle]

very nice!

Next the A6M2b and A6M2-N float plane version.

EI-111 was flown by Lt. Hideki Shingo Air Group Commander (Hikotaicho)aboard the IJN carrier Shokaku, battle of Santa Cruz, October 1942.

Research now indicates that this Zero actually carried Yellow leading edge identification stripes, as noted in the profile image.
