Country:  | Interesting, but I find it funny that they would use a Hurricane for a German fighter.

Country: | I've seen P-51's painted up to represent Bf-109's, and Texans painted like Zeros. The film-makers do what they have to I guess. | |

Country: | Well at least with some minor mods, you can make a T-6 at least resemble a Zero.

Country: | There are several Texans made out to look like Zeroes. Here is one that is around the southern California Air Show circuit.

Country: | I have a pic in a frame that shows a replica and a real zero in flight. At first glance, the similarity is pretty good. There are obvious differences, but with a shortage of real A6Ms around, obviously the Texan is a close match. Better than using a spitfire for a 109.
