| Nice find. I imagine that pics are rare of the 201st. I'll have to check what aircraft I'm building to see the number.

| You can find pictures of the 201st aircraft but they are zero's and not the N1K1 which I beleive is a rarer picture.

| I agree. The cockpit has gone together very easily, and I am deciding how much detail to put into it right now. I will get some photos soon.

| Hi Amsel I hope you are going to post pics of your progress soon. I've found a few more pics of 201-53 for you, so get cracking! These were in Bunrindo's Famous Aircraft of the World. Last edited by ozhawk40; 05-30-2009 at 10:41 AM. Reason: Added pic source |

| The only yellow stripe is that which is on the leading edge of each wing, what you may perceive as a yellow strip is light reflecting from the different angled surfaces....
