I have long been waiting for your comment Micdrow

Thanks.

Hi Shinpachi great to hear your still going strong..Yes we are progressing here,keep up the great work as the zero is one plane that needs to be kept alive..
Best wishes from the spitfire crew..

Great info Shinpachi.

That is amazingly detailed.

I especially like the shot of you in the pilot seat.

Shinpachi · 05-08-2009, 02:42 AM

Oh, how many compliments I have asked!
Sorry but many thanks gentlemen!

Please tell my best wishes to Geoff, Spits.
I am also impressed with his good Australian craftsmanship.
I have posted his(&his friend's) masterpiece(gauge) on my local site to introduce recently.

Thanks Aaron! You always encourage me when I'm blue a little bit.
My translation on the thread will go on because I think I must translate several articles at least which describe incidents around August 15, 1945 when the war was over.

Please keep in touch with me.
Many thanks everyone.

You have every bit to be proud, they look awsome Shipanchi!!!

Micdrow. You win

Here is one of my top secrets for CG modlling - a CAD tracing based on the original data A6Ms. Sorry but please let me omit each value at the moment, until I complete my ongoing work at least.

Thank you very much again for the compliments, Micdrow!
You have awesome talent to collect informations.

Great stuff there Shinpachi, but your talent far exceeds mine, I just get lucky once in a while

Shinpachi · 06-17-2009, 11:07 PM

Your modesty is also a good talent, Micdrow

Thanks!

Hi Shinpachi, Spits,

Those are some really cool 3D models. Hope you don't mind a minor change in topic:

I am trying to find the individual fuel tank capacities for various models of A6M to generate some flight models. I have been finding lots of contradictory data from various sites and US reports.
At the moment I am working on a A6M2b Model 21, but I also need the following:

A6M2b - 21 - 518 lit in 3 tanks
A6M3 - 32 - 470 lit in 3 tanks
A6M3 - 22 - 570 lit in 5 tanks
A6M5a - 52 - 540 lit in 3 tanks

The distribution of fuel in various tanks determines balance and fuel switching which is why I am lookng for individual tank capacities.

Thanks in advance.
- Ivan.
