Man I wish you guys would make your zero, the folding wing tips are too cool. Plus the proto you showed wasn't over-accented with rivits, great looking example. Ole Rosie the riveter went postal on the Bbi example, only thing I dont like about it.Jason of Admiral Toys wrote:Here are some photos I used as reference for the Admiral Toys' Zero. I too used the referenced websites above and they led me to the group of guys that restored this aircraft. They write many of the articles on the various websites.
A few other pics. Most of these pics were colorized unfortunately. The only good Reisen type O pics are those taken by American, New-Zealand and Australian forces at the end of the war. It seems the Japanese didn't have color films at this time.
