hi Shinpachi.
I know its a long hard slog, but the results will more than compensate for all the graft.
keep it up.

Looking sharp my friend. Sweating the details can be slow and painstaking. But in the end it's worth it.

 

[Shinpachi]

Thank you very much, sirs, for your all kind words and good advices, Gnomey, blobs and Aaron!
Utterly, I think I have been repeating to forget each painstaking step when it was over to go next for a hundred times

BTW, I believe that I've found out a secret of Zero structure which, as long as I know, no one has ever told.
Almost modellers place a pair of canopy rails in parallel as a matter of course but it is not original way.
I'll be able to show my understanding soon.

Thanks again guys!
Please keep in touch.

Magic! Well done so far!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Wayne!

Having checked some drawings, I now understand the rails should not be parallel but placed along the frames leaning inside.
In that case, the canopy wheels could be swingable in the allowance of about 20mm.
I'm about to simulate it in my CGI work.

This may be a tiny matter but no one has ever explained it.

Absolutely breathtaking work Shinpachi-San, I'm speechless! Said it before, but will say it again, your work is second to none my friend!
I'm sure that Jiro Horikoshi is looking over your shoulder, showing you both approval and pride!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thank you very much for your so nice words, Lucky
I am also glad you are as fine as ever!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'm with Lucky. Your work is amazing my friend.

 

[Shinpachi]

I always appreciate your so friendly comments, Aaron
I can find more time to make up details now.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Impressive!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Aaron!

Attached image shows the seat, gunsight and instruments panel of early type for A6M3, 5a and 5b.

 

[Shinpachi]

Frames, stringers, rails and new canopy.
All coincide well.
Thanks.
