Yes this aircraft (Tora 101) was originally built in 1952 under license in Canada as a Harvard Mark IV training aircraft otherwise known as a T-6 in the United States. In 1968, the plane was purchased by 20th Century Fox and given extensive modifications to resemble the Mitsubishi A6M Zero for the film "Tora Tora Tora" released in 1970.
@@dbgairshowvideos1612 Very interesting. I've seen that film. On the off chance you are affiliated with any airshows, there is a Czech company that produces 80% scale A6M-5 Zero fighters. Not sure how much they cost but they look very close to the real thing. Would be a fantastic edition to any historical aircraft lineup.
Old but gold
Cool!
Isn't that a T-6 with makeup?
