CHSubZero Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Fictional Imperial Japanese Skin Pack Because the Fw-190A-8 is looking similar to the A6M Zero I decided to create a few fictional schemes based on different A6M Zero's. The most interesting part is the research :smartass: The color schemes of the Mitsubishi or Nakajima built A6M is not well documented. Mitsubishi built A6M's had silver spinners and more greenish grey coat while the Nakajima ones had black spinners and a more tanish coat. Every early A6M had a brownish-red primer undercoat against the salty conditions, thats why the scratches in this skin packs are brownish instead of greyish. Skins in this package: AI-103, Mitsubishi A6M2 type 0 Model 21, IJN Carrier Akagi, Pearl Harbour, First Wave, Squadron leader Lt. Masanobu Ibusuki AI-151, Mitsubishi A6M2 type 0 Model 21, IJN Carrier Akagi, Pearl Harbour, First Wave, Private Officer 1st class Yoshio Iwaki BI-112, Mitsubishi A6M2 type 0 Model 21, IJN Carrier Soryu, Pearl Harbour, Second Wave, Private Officer 2nd class Takashi Okamoto Rai-153, Mitsubishi A6M5a type 0 Model 52a, 256th Kokutai, Malbalacat Airbase, Philippines Tsu-102, Mitsubishi A6M2 Type 0 Model 21, Tsukuba Air Corps, Operational Training Unit, October 1943 Download https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308081/ Release Notes v4: BI-112 and Tsu-102 added, Carrier Zeros are now historically correct more tan then Grey/White and color bands on wheels fixed v3: Rai-153 added and smaller fixes on all planes v2: AI-151 added and main landing gear struts are now painted correctly in black instead of Aodake Iro v1: AI-103 added Edited March 14, 2020 by CHSubZero Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files

CHSubZero Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Mitsubishi A6M2 Type 0 Model 21, Tsukuba Air Corps, Operational Training Unit, October 1943, Tsu-102 Can someone tell me the meaning of this Kanjii symbol? Edited March 14, 2020 by CHSubZero Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
Akatsuki Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) It’s the katakana spelling for « tsu »... Hence tsu-102. ;) Katakanas are one of the syllabaries used in japanese. Tsu probably making reference to the Tsukuba Air Corps. Edited March 7, 2020 by Akatsuki
CHSubZero Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 Tsu probably making reference to the Tsukuba Air Corps. 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 Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
CHSubZero Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 I‘ll release a newer skin pack when I see which skins of mine are included by ED. I also want to create a few more carrier based „Zeros“ Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
CHSubZero Posted March 8, 2020 Author Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Next one will ready for the updated skin pack. Release will be after ED included the contest winning Fw-190 skins. BI-112, Mitsubishi A6M2 type 0 Model 21, IJN Carrier Soryu, Pearl Harbour, Second Wave, Private Officer 2nd class Takashi Okamoto Edited March 14, 2020 by CHSubZero Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
CHSubZero Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) 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) Edited March 14, 2020 by CHSubZero Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
Akatsuki Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Shouldn't the blue color always be on the bottom? Looks to be inverted on AI-151. Edited March 11, 2020 by Akatsuki
CHSubZero Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Shouldn't the blue color always be on the bottom? Looks to be inverted on AI-151. You are right. AI-151 will be changed to red over blue too. I use AI-151 for comparison :) Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
