Not sure. This is the prototype. I agree, it would be great if only Premier would do a Japanese head.

here is a picture of his complete outfit with the helmet. he includes the other accessories like the goggles and oxygen mask as well.

Hope to get this thing in full throttle soon. While I finish up some other building projects, I'm getting things collected together for the Zero. The Sierra gear is in the hands Down and Locked for electric conversion. The wing tips will be Down and Locked electric as well.

If you're referring to Jason Somes he flies the CAF Zero out of Camarillo. Don't think he flies the Planes of Fame aircraft.

Back from CA. Good to be home. The visit to Chino was well worth the 1hr drive from where we were staying, even in that LA traffic. I got hundreds of pictures. I'll be posting them for all to use, in the various threads. I got great pictures of the F4U-1, P-47-D, P-38, and many more.

Now for the Zero. IT WAS IN PIECES!!!!!!!!! It had just returned from a trip to Japan, where it was a great hit. I was told that they had a lottery for tickets to the show the days it was fired up. Anyway, they had not reassembled it yet. However, as you will see, I was able to get pictures from a perspective you just never get to see. For example, how many times are you able to get close up pictures of the gear up on any warbird? I did on the Zero. You can see how crappy those gear doors really do fit. Please take note you scale judges.

Here are a few pictures. I'll be posting many more as time goes on.

I have many more pictures that will help with this build. What I could not get was pictures of the cowl, engine, spinner, horizontal stab, elevators, nose fairings, or tail cone. These were still in bubble wrap.

I did get this picture of the prop and the cocooned engine.

Thanks guys. Didn't get a chance to meet him. I spent 3 hrs there. That was enough to run the batteries in my camera dead. Could have spent all day. A wonderful place for guys like us.
