Update 2020-03-16: 12805 (Full Orange) added and Specular layer replaced by Roughness Metal
This livery is semi-fictional for maintaining BORT numbers (Tail only). Historical Alaska ANG Sabres would have the BORT number on the wings too.

I think I got it now with the reflections. The variant on the bottom looks more like the real F-86 Sabres from Japan, but I like the more reflective version :D
I think I'll stay with the version on top, even if it is fictional. And no, I don't manage both versions ;)
I'm using BI-112 to test and fix some errors I made with my first Zero skins. After that I'll update the other Zero skins and send them to ED.
Engine cowling is now a blueish black instead of brownish red
Color code on wheel plate is now historically correct (A6M2 had blue and red bands)
The position of the color bands is still too high (will fix next)
Thanks for the information. So I think the colors are variant specific:
A6M2 = Red on top of Blue
A6M3 = Red on top of Yellow
A6M5 = Red on top of Yellow on top of Blue
The A6M3 was heavier and longer than the A6M2 because of the new Sakae 21 engine.
Does someone of you know what the color code on the wheels stands for? Some have a blue and red band, others have red and yellow and some have all three colors. Is it related to the variant?
Next one will ready for the updated skin pack. Release will be after ED included the contest winning Fw-190 skins.

I did know the kanji is „tsu“, thats why I called my skin Tsu-102, but I didn‘t thought for one second that it could be because of Tsukuba :music_whistling: :doh: :D

Can someone tell me the meaning of this Kanjii symbol?
