Default RE: VQ A6M5 Zero Build Thread

Here are some shots of the bird with the wing attached after adding the "cannons". Unfortunately, I crashed her into the bean field at the flying site after a high speed pass and chandelle done a little too aggressively..high speed stall and flipped into the beans! Unbelievable, the only damage was the cowling and a broken prop. The pilot came unglued and smashed his head into the instrument panel cracking the plastic. Everything else was solid! No structural damage at all. Our flying club is putting on the yearly air show this weekend and my Zero is one of ten that we are flying to recreate the attack on Pearl Harbor as part of the show. She WILL fly!
