    @Warbirdnation To be fair, most military aircraft at the time weren't designed to last more than a couple years, and carrier planes suffer quite a lot of abuse. I'm actually working on a Dauntless-3 right now but the perforated dive brakes, telescopic bombsight, and wide open cockpit are giving me quite a bit of trouble.

    Good thing you don't want a Zero, there's only 2 left flying, and only one with a real Nakajima engine in it!
