Well, I did it. This Mitsubishi A6M2 or more commonly known as the zero was one of the most manuverable warbirds in ww2. My inspiration came while I watched Midway for the first time and so I decided to make a zero, but it was going to have to be a lot better than my previous attempts. My first goal was to improve the cockpit so I decided to make a hollowed out frame to put the cockpit pieces inside of (which I havent done before). Then I wanted to make the wings more realistic. Lastly I wanted to make custom landing gear. In the end I got this, hope you enjoy

@RcAddict great to hear! I’ll take a look at it
@Mustang51 I made a new version of this. I took your advice and raised the headroom of the cockpit and I made it slightly easier to take off and land. So now instead of easing on the throttle to take off, you can gun it and just pitch up and your flying. Again thanks for commenting.
Made a new version that has some minor fixes
@Mustang51 Sure thing
@RcAddict no problem! If you need help or some tips with your builds feel free to ask!
@Mustang51 Thanks for the info, it means a lot
Pretty nice! Not the perfect shape but overall it’s pretty good. The cockpit interior is nice but the shape of the canopy is too low. Also, takeoff is very hard. Nevertheless it’s a pretty good build!
