I'd like to do the bottom one, but I have yet to skin a Zero.

Yessssssssss!!!!! Please do. That one is my fave! Plus, I think it is the only 5b in the line-up and we don't have ANY 5b skins yet.

I've got panel line charts for this bird but have yet to press on making one. Considering I think I've only found one profile that shows side, top and bottom markings. The skin would end up looking alot like the KI 84 skin so I just didn't make it.

Scrap if I could get enough info on a particular paint scheme then I will look at doing one. HTC requires references for any skin submitted. Though the persons doing profiles such as these must have done some research prior to doing them I'm not sure HTC will accepted them based purely off of just one reference. I'd hate to do all that work to be told there isn't enough references for that skin to have it implemented.

thanks for the info. I will see if I can dig something up in the next few days.

I will update posts below for each profile as I find information. Any resources found will be kept untill needed for skinning and submission

A start:

A6M3
251st Kokutai
(Tail code UI-105 would have been Hiroyoshi Nishizawa)

This is an A6M2 that would have flown off of the Hiryu (hence the BII tail code)

~The Soryu would use prefix BI
~The Soryu's fuselage bands would be a slightly lighter shade of blue than the Hiryu's

This appears to be the markings of an A6M2 that would have participated in the raid on Pearl Harbor.

~Tail code suggests operation in china during 1941
~Pearl Harbor A6M2s would have had the tail code prefix of AI, but follow the same fuselage and tail stripe color/layout.

I THINK this one is a trainer used in North Korea. The scan I have form the book this profile came from is of very bad quality (thinks mez gonna go to da library soon).

No idea on this one yet.

However, the green/grey patters were created trying to quickly spay over the original grey factoy scheme with green. The underlying grey would have varied depending on who made the A6M. Mitsubishi used a different grey than Nakajima.

Mitsubishi: greenish grey

Nakajima: neutral grey
