This aircraft is painted in the standard Japanese Naval scheme introduced 1943: Dark Navy Green on the upper surfaces with light grey underneath. The tone of the dark green color varied according to the manufacturer (Mitsubishi, Nakajima, etc.). All Japanese aircraft featured the prominent red circles ("hinomaru") on fuselage and wings. By the end of 1942, yellow wing leading edges had also been introduced. First flown in April, 1939, the A6M Zero-Sen was the Allies' main opponent in the Pacific and the most famous symbol of Japanese air power during World War II. This carrier-based fighter, designed with a low-monoplane wing and armed with a formidable array of two 20mm cannons and two 7.7mm machine guns, proved capable of handling any of the Allies' aircraft. It wasn't until the Allies studied a captured Zero that they were able to identify and exploit weaknesses such as minimal pilot and fuel tank protection. Zeros became infamous for Kamikaze attacks, in which pilots would intentionally crash explosion-laden aircraft into Allied ships. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
