Default Royal Zero to Rufe Build

Meet JNAF Flight Lt.(jg) Keizo Yamazaki as he looks out from behind his type 98 gunsight.

Dry assembled for the first time for "armchair flying" w/ canopy taped in place, ready for radio installation and engine run-up. Serious weathering to follow to highlight panel lines.

Left side view from rear, flaps deployed.

Squadron bands & tail markings of Yamazaki's plane. ( Note 3 hatchet marks above the 118 to denote 3 kills.)

Cannon ports & cockpit air intake on wing leading edge. Starboard faux exhaust stack at bottom of cowl near oil cooler intake at top of main pontoon strut. Faux radial cylinders can be seen behind flying spinner & prop.
