Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero by Uncle T

My version of the Mitsubishi A6M2 "Zero" or "Zeke".

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

This is the early, pure fighter version launched from airplane carriers. It's armed with 2 machine guns in the wings and 2 automatic cannons in the engine cowling (the weapons were actually the other way around but the larger guns do not fit in the wings so I switched places). It also has a drop tank to improve range.

Alt controls to fly. W/S: Variable throttle. S: Ground brake (tap gently at speeds over 100kph). A/D: Ground steering/Yaw. Up/Down arrow: Pitch. Left/Right arrow: Roll. X/Disable steering: Landing gear. Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine guns and cannons. Fire action 2/ Num 2: Drop tank. Fire action 8/Num 8: Arrestor hook.

A note on the colour! The Zero was not painted white as it's often depicted in popular culture but in a corrosion protection colour that was more of a muted green-gray-beige. The colour brightened a bit with age but was never really white. I chose a rather aged shade since it looks nicer than the rather dull freshly painted colour, but feel free to change it as you please. :)

Have fun!
