[Capt. Vick]

You can do it!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks, gents.
Tracing the drawings first. This took six months.

I love blueprint blue. Every time I see it it reminds me of the Steely Dan song "Peg". Call me odd if you wish

Good work so far shinpachi!

As your work always is, this will be a master piece.

This is exciting, Shinpachi-san!

I have always enjoyed your CGI projects and look forward to the updates - this will be one more that I will follow closely.

Thanks, at6 and Dave !
Combined the digitized drawings into CGI software to check each size and start modelling.
I found there were two nose cap lengths, 630mm and 680mm by the data.
Production size in 1945 was 630mm, so I understood 680mm would be for prototype.
I take 630mm for my modelling as I am going to install the 30mm cannons later as production type.

Lovely work so far shinpachi!

Looks great!
BTW, two questions;
Is that shock strut and its attaching hardware on the front actually to scale?
Did you draw up that seat print?

Thanks for your interest, jetcal1.
Please refer to page 7 of my old thread "Mitsubishi A6M8 CGI project" for details.
I have been tired of answering questions about the Zeros and am not interested in it anymore
Sorry.

Sorry.

No apologies needed. The draft drawing of that seat is on the far side of superlative. Someone could probably fabricate and build a seat off of that print.

You are excellent, jetcal1.
Thanks.

A member once asked me about the seat replica in his thread.
My seat modelling was based on actual scale including the shock strut and its attaching hardware.

Excellent work by a master.....
