A6M-22 251st Kokutai Rabaul
« on: May 28, 2012, 06:51:16 PM »
This is a skin for the A6M-22 depicting the FHC A6M3-22 Zero Paint Scheme as suggested by Fight2FlyPhoto at M4T who provided the photos and information and to whom I thank.The actual plane was a Zero of the 251st Kokutai based in the Rabaul area.The original skin is from Rookie which I thank him for and hope he approves of the massive rework I have done to it to get it to fit on the A6M-22 I also should mention that this skin will only fit on JapanCat's new A6M-22 model which comes in UP and DBW 1.71.Place the skin in your PaintSchemes/Skins/A6M-22 folder and you should be good to go,I Hope you enjoy it.     https://www.mediafire.com/?au4pp5nj7ybs7rc  The link has been updated to the skin which now includes the folded wing graphics which were missing as pointed out to me by Yeager_1946. (UPDATE) Here is a link to the same skin but,modified as requested by Yeager_1946 to fit on JapanCat's A6M-22 Rabaul model,so you must have his mod pack to use this version of the skin.This version of the skin goes into your PaintSchemes/Skins/A6M-22RFM folder      https://www.mediafire.com/?juum92ij1pj1atf

Again, fantastic work!  It fits right in with the other Flying Heritage Collection skins! I just got done doing a "photo flight" with this and the Robert Neale 1st Pursuit Squadron AVG P-40C that this Zero is hangared with.

The original.  Note the slightly darker color of the lower fuselage... she was absolutely DRIPPING with oil.  Since then they have fixed it and flown it twice.

And yes, the IL-2M3 is airworthy.
