The Top RC composite zero looks very good in fuse size and shape.
for you zero lovers, check put Pacific Wrecks. Website for incredable pics and history.

If you delete the last part to a6m3. You get so many to look at.
I have an old World Models Zero that has pregnant looking fuse and is too fat.
Put a 50cc, extended the wings for 11meter wing, and painted as A6M3 Model 32 Zero, Tail V-190 captured on Buna. This is a Houkoku Markings (pronounced HOU' koh-coo) which is a Donated aircraft with number -874. By the way, the three lower letters on the side fuselage of the Zero means 'Devote the country'.

Scale only 4 me, what karma. Great pics.
I orig got my American Zero from another club member whose uncle Maj Stanton flew P-40s in the Pacific. Later he flew back a repaired Zero like your first pic for evaluation. So naturally my buddy did his that way too. That's when I acquired my Zero from him. I flew it a few times in the American colors, but I love the light gray version once I found the V-190 pictures. After I too had a dead stick it was time to strip it down and repair it as my engine came loose from the firewall on " landing in the bean field" as one prop blade dug in. I asked if he cared if I repainted it as I knew about his uncle. He was fine with it.
Later he repainted another WM zero with the same green over orange scheme. Looks good in the air.

For Zero instruments, Iflytaillies has them for $16 in 1/5 scale. http://www.iflytailies.com/store/ins...cale-warbirds/
just make your dashboard, I used the Zero profiles book showing the cockpit, and insert the instrument faces. Here is a peek at finished panel and gun sight.

I was hoping that this thread was still going on.
I just purchased a TopFlite Zero and I have not seen a build thread on one of these yet.
if someone knows of one.. please post the link.
