Country: | Good pictures, are you saying the A6M is a converted T6 because it looks like a real Zero? | |

Country:  | Yeap there are not eneogh Zeros around flying so many Texans have been converted to look like Zeros for use in movies and so forth. Just like they took the Ha's and made them look like Luftwaffe 109s for the movies.

Country: | In the pictures submitted by Wildcat, I believe that is a real A6M, tail # 288. If you look at the photos, all the details of the supposed Zero look correct but the real tipoff to me is that the leading edge of the "Zero's" wing meets the fuselage just behind the engine cowling whereas the SNJ's wing leading edge is back a foot or so from the cowling. A modified SNJ would not relocate the wing to impersonate a Zero. | |

Country: | And not forgetting the Val and Kate replica's also made for the movie. The Kate was made with the tail section from a BT-13 and the forward section from a T-6.

Country: | Now, if they can make all these reproduction versions of the planes for movies, why can't they start a new production line of certain planes for the rich collectors and displays? | |

Country: | Well flying 190s and 109s are pretty obscure.
