  • A special thank you to Bob and Dan Hammer for letting me check out their A6M3-32 HAMP that they have restored to be one of the most beautiful Japanese Zero projects in the world. Give this a thumbs up if you are a Zero fan, want a zero simulation aircraft, or you just plain outright liked this video. Thanks for watching...Juice

    I love WW2 restorations. The thing that gets me about Zeros specifically is the coloration. The "amber" color was a lacquer that went over a base gray color, so it would have been more subtly amber and more gray-ish than this restoration; and back in the day the lacquer faded so much in the sun the base gray showed through enough to cause confusion over the original color (e.g. the white Zeros in older war movies). The dark reddish brown on the back of the prop blades would have stopped where the paddle meets the shaft. The aotake color ("zinc chromate") was also a lacquer, and varied a lot between hues of blue and green depending on Mitsubishi or Nakajima(?) manufacture, but wasn't an in-your-face color since the base color still showed through. At least according to recent Japanese research on the original colors. The cowling looks to be a good color! Very dark navy-ish but not quite black.

      Thank you for your comments. However on the overall amber brown we used in the aircraft it is as correct as any zero in the world. We had original skins that were sent to PPG military aerospace coatings for analysis. The red oxide primer was present in these pieces as well as the original Japanese top coat. Through computer analysis and spectrum analyzer PPG custom mixed the color for us into there flat military aerospace coating. We have these surviving skins here at the project and when held up to the airplane they are amazingly correct.

      @@danielhammer7968 That's interesting. I've seen many Japanese sources with the same analyis but different conclusions.

    That’s some sweet stencil work.
    P.S. Nice try with the grenade. Serious determination!

    Wonder how it will handle compared to the model 52.

    • @AIRWARFAREGROUP
      @AIRWARFAREGROUP  6 месяцев назад

      Yeah, and with 200 original parts and the difference in the tail and engine, it would be interesting to feel the difference.

    Let's be honest here, this is NOT a restoration, this is a whole new aircraft.

    • @AIRWARFAREGROUP

      Ding, ding, ding! So 200 original parts. I mix my words.

    Almost accurate reproduction, not a 'restoration'.

      Very true, they had very little to build on when you think about it. Good point 😉

    You know this makes me wonder about our upcoming DCS World Corsair. Are you sure they didn't say next summer? LOL.

      Who knows. Mag 3 is probably the worst dev when it comes to communication. But, the F-4 looks like it’s going to be very solid.
