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.

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....
