I think I had better tell what was the problem, if any, with my older modelling A6Ms more clearly because
not a few scale modellers could be feeling the same thing too. Rob felt it at least.
The 1st image shows a profile of my older A6M5.
Fuselage lines were exact copies of drawings introduced in a very popular Japanese aviation magazine but
my frustration was there were no exact dimentional values about the height and width of the fuselage at all.
Yes, I am going to make my own new drawings from the beginning at first this time.
Take a look -
The 2nd image (photo) shows good profile of the A6M5 captured by US in Saipan.
The 3rd one shows exact tracings of the second image (photo).
The last one shows how it looks when the 1st and the 3rd images are overlayed.
Even when any distortion on the photo can be expected, several remarkable facts are coming up.
