New Zeros & Skins Released by AcWai, Captain Kurt & UncleTgt! 1.0

[Browncoat]

Looking amazing!

 

[Ludo]

This A6M5 looks fantastic, really looking forward to it (and I learned recently some new things about this specific variant of the Zero, like some small differences between the planes manufactured by Mitsubishi or Nakajima, even after all those years )

 

[vincentf563]

That looks absolutely amazing!! So cool!! Doesn't really do it justice to say amazing and cool though. Wish I had better words.

 

[Captain Kurt]

Thanks all. Making the models was fun. UndcleTgt's paintings really bring them to life though.

 

[UncleTgt]

Thanks Kurt, that means a lot coming from someone as talented ad yourself.

I may have to do some Nakajima A6M5's though, seeing as they built twice as many as Mitsubishi did...

 

[skylane]

I was aware that Nakajima also built Zeros, but were they any different from Mitsubishi's?

 

[Ludo]

When I saw that DCS would have a playable A6M5 in their game I was curious and I crossed upon those threads, with information based on the models kits by Fine Molds in 1/48 and in 1/72 (https://www.finemolds.co.jp/FP/FR01.html https://www.finemolds.co.jp/FP/FR02.html https://www.finemolds.co.jp/www/newFB.html). In short the paint pattern was different (fuselage and the wings hinomarus), the exhaust heat shields were different (short for the Mitsubishi, longer for Nakajima)

Some thoughts about WIP A6M5b pictures

1.As I have said in the comment,the A6M5b aileron trim tab looks too big,seems incorrect. 2.The livery of A6M5b looks strange,I haven't seen such color in War Thunder. 3.Does A6M5b has green spinner?It looks strange.

#warthunder #live_wt #workshop The A6M Zero was mainly produced by two companies, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Nakajima Aircraft Company. Since A6M5, the difference in painting between the two companies has been reproduced in war thunder. Specifically, A6M5 / A6M5otsu is expressed as...

I’ve been poking around trying to find the difference between Nakajima and Mitsubishi built A6M zeroes. What I’ve come up with is physically they

This is where I also learned that the second type of drop tank (from Nakajima) was available from the A6M5a, I always thought it was only from the A6M5b.

Thanks for all the comments and interests in this aircraft. We are planning to release it on Saturday with all 4 versions. I am doing some last minute checking before package it together. There are lots of parts to keep track of. I just discovered the A6M5 starboard cannon is off by a little bit.

Here is my last paint scheme for this aircraft before it is released. I saw that we did not have a white paint scheme so I painted one.

 

[Ludo]

This white A6M5 looks nice, makes me think of this postwar A6M7 in the US. I'm really looking forward to fly them And I can see how I could possibly make a bakusen/senbaku A6M2 (I think both designations are correct) like the one Captain Kurt did with the OH model (the Ryuho A6M2) and maybe both A6M5c/A6M7. Can't wait for Saturday

 

[Worthless]

Lovely aircraft! SOH keeps giving after all this time. Great work guys.

 

[warbirdlover]

Wow. Awesome.
