Hope they will make a good restoration work on this bird. I'm very anxious to see the original look of it.
I really want to visit the military museums from all over the world someday, but to bad I don't have enough time and fuel for my "war effort".
Well done helping them out.
You have my sympathy.
Its basically what I do (visiting museums all over the World as a hobby) and its very rewarding.
Certainly not in an economic sence, but in regards to the fantastic planes, vehicles and items on display.
Here a pic I snapped of the Ohka at the National Museum of the Air Force.
Notice how artfully I composed the pic, so the Ohka seems to be emerging from the gloom like a dark messenger!!*
*Not really - the puny flash on the puny pocket camera that I brought on that trip simply couldnt illuminate the dark shadows in the not very well lit museum display and made for a hopelessly dark photo. Ive since learned my lesson and brought a DSLR and a proper pro flash for when museums for some unfathomable reason deceides to keep their displays in semi-lit shadows.

That access panel in original paint looks like mine
Did you get that panel through WAF, Jareth-san?
Regards,
Taka
Yes. Bought it off WAF from a post. Got the front & rear sights as well! Not too many around !
Hi Taka-San
Here's a bird that may interest you
Saburo Sakai's A6M2 Serial number V-173 which is displayed in the Australian War Memorials Aircraft Hall in Canberra.
I hope you like her.
All the best
Dave
Thank you for the info Dave-san!
She is very beautiful.
Cheers!
