    Back in around 2012-2013, Planes of Fame completely overhauled their Zero after its last visit to Japan. Halfway through the work, they had it outside at one First Saturday event - the fuselage was separated just aft of the cockpit and the engine was out. I stuck my head inside the cockpit from the rear and shot away to get detail shots you couldn't get otherwise, and took shots of everything else. This is a Nakajima-built A6M5, so the cockpit color is Nakajima Interior Green (it's been restored, but they took effort to restore it in the same colors). This is the only Zero in the world that still has the original Sakae engine.

    These may be of help to anyone doing a Zero, so check them out.
