I was right! This will come in right handy for pre- 1943!

[SPman]

Yippee - I've only ever seen an early Ki 43 in the metal.....the one that used to be at Wanaka and "taxied" down the strip 3 ms in the air.......

[tonybones2112]

Is this the Ki-43-I with the two-bladed prop? I have illustrations in Donald Thorpe's JAAF book of this plane used in 1944-45 for Home Defense against B-29s.

Scroll down to the black and white line-drawing of the A6M3-B Zero, grey-white camo with black-green squiggles, this was done on the field with rags dipped in dark green paint. This is an A6M3 Model 22 of the 251st Kokutai, note something I hope one of you guys come out with for the 1941-42 South Pacific Zeros: A no antenna mast modification, according to Saburo Sakai, the humidity rotted the radio chassis and shorted out the vacuum tubes. Anyone know of an A6M5 Model 52a for CFS2? The -52c got all the glory, the -52a formed the backbone of the night-fighter Zeros in the Philippines and Lt. Seki, the first recognized dedicated kamikaze for the JNAF flew a -52a on his first(and last) mission.

Akemi is excellent, he only lacks one thing: Damage to his planes. I like smoke, spurting oil, shredded flaps and bullet holes as the stock AC have.

I'll say in passing, I love the FDG Donationware P-40E just released. I found a skin for a "captured Japanese" for this plane over on Simnetwork.

BANZAI!!!

I may have to eventually incorporate that into DEI. Great work, Akemi! :ernae:

[Cowboy1968]

Rami are the Buffaloes in there?

[Rami]

Cowboy,

Um. Yes....it's one of the two primary Dutch DEI fighters. (The 339 version) The FDG2 P-36 is the other one.

[Cowboy1968]

I found this Tony;

Mitsubishi A6M5(a) Reisen 221-18

http://www.flightsim.com/newfiles/cfs2/cfs2160.htm

Hope that was what you may be looking for however this is a captured aircraft with US skin, BUT it is a repaint of Scott Johnson's OH stock zero which I can not seem to locate for you.

Thank you, I'm downloading it, I like the skin. The stock Zero however is the 52c, two guns in each wing, I'm looking for mod of the stock Zero with the outer two machine guns removed. I do like tht skin and because you searched for it I'm going to download it and do my thing to it.

Thank you

I have that mod SC, thank you. I've counted at least ten versions of the Tojo, the Tony, and the Oscar, I would think someone would have explored the Zero a little closer. I do have two cool skins: Combat operational trainer for the A6M2 and the A6M5 stock Zeros, green on top and orange on the bottom. I wish I knew how to modify these planes: I'd do A6M2s and 3s with the antenna mast shaved and cruder green camo over the gray-white.

Thanks SC, I already have that aircraft. Is B24guy and Scot Johnson one in the same person by any chance??

Enjoy Tony

Akemi has a version of his a6m2 without a radio & his a6m3 m22 also is radioless.

Thanks man, I'm headed to his site as I write this.

There's a new photo up at his site with more detail on the cockpit.

I do too much at once.

I'd never flown the stock 52 Zeke before a week ago and had read back in Oct. someone in another forum saying the stock A6M5 was a 52c. My blunder, ther stock 52 is a 52a. Sorry if I engendered any confusion.

Bonesimoto

[Wulf190]

He is really on a tare with building this one! Wow!

[oldwheat]

Yep, looks like buckets of detail. A lot of work for a target :pop4:!

Donald Thorpe has Oscar Is that apparently were used for Home Defense, just need to locate his Army book, I found my copy of the Navy camo, the Army book is not far away.

Honorable B-29 come in low and slow for night fire raid, Bonesimoto be waiting, HAI!!!

[flying_spud]

Great! that's the one Japanese variant i was missing. Ideal for first year of war over S E Asia.

[oldwheat]

The pic on Akemi's site shows a type 1 with home defense 'bandages'.

What is Akemi's repaint policy, anyway?

[tonybones2112]

What is Akemi's repaint policy, anyway?

I'm going to guess benign, OW. Morton has done some nice repaints of his planes, and the repaints for his Boomerang his the Outhouse almost as soon as the plane.

Bonesimoto

[Devildog73]

:guinness:And I think Morton has done some OUTSTANDING panels for some of them. :icon29:
