Hi everyone,
Next Saturday (Dec 1) we will have the public rollout of our restored Yokosuka D4Y Judy Dive Bomber / Reconsissance plane at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California. This will not be a flying restoration, but is able to start and taxi under its own power. We rolled it out today and started painting it for the program. It will be finished with typical Japanese green upper surfaces and gray lower surfaces, as many Japanese aircraft were painted. There are VERY few surviving pictures of a Judy in color, and the paint scheme was chosen to be as repreentative as possible.
The program is about Japanese aircraft and starts at 10:00am. All our Japanese stuff will be on display except for our A6M5 Model 52 Zero fighter ... it is currently in Japan at a Museum just outside Tokyo for about 4 months.
Hope to see you there next weekend!
