Mitsubishi A6M8 CGI Project

[Shinpachi]

Yes it is, A4K
Its hint was in a drawing book.

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

All of the painstaking effort is coming to fruition! Looking very good sir, very good.

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Aaron for your many encouraging words too!
I feel as if I am working with you

 

[Wayne Little]

I just want to see more!

 

[A4K]

With Wayne!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Wayne and A4K.
Sorry but images from my 'Others' .

 

[Gnomey]

Excellent work Shinpachi!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Gnomey.

This Zero wing image is from my older work.
It was not necessarily accurate on its shape and size as made mainly based on photos.
This time, I am going to remake it based on the drawings and numerical values I obtained later expecting more accuracies.

 

[A4K]

That's impressive as it is, but looking forward to your reworked version!

 

[Thorlifter]

It won't be long and you will be done. What is the next plane you will do?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

That's still very impressive Shinpachi. Just because you were using a photo instead of the drawing plans takes nothing away from the artist.

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks A4K, Thor and Aaron for your all kind words!

I have no idea about the next plane but am still anxious about those unfinished Wright Cyclone and RR Merlin.
They have beautiful structures too.

 

[Wayne Little]

Just keep this excellent work coming!

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good anyway shinpachi. Looking forward to the remake though.

 

[evangilder]

I think it looks great. I am also looking forward to the reworked version. You do nice work, Shinpachi-san!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thank you very much, Wayne, Gnomey and Eric!

I had to explain why the canopy wheels could run on the rails which were not placed in parallel.
There was enough space for the wheels to sideslip.
I have taken eight years to understand this

 

[Lucky13]

Outstanding, unbelievable, amazing work my frind!

 

[GrauGeist]

While I've enjoyed watching the assembly of the A6M, I've also had the opportunity (and everyone else) to actually see how it was constructed.

We've all seen wartime photos of the aircraft in action and we've also seen the wreckage of the aircraft, but unless a person happens to be fortunate enough to help in the restoration of an actual A6M, it would be nearly impossible to see this perspective you've offered us, Shinpachi...many thanks and keep up the good work!

Did the wide rail cause jamming problems with the canopy?
