I participated in a “wrong markings” group build. A subject with markings it wouldn’t normally have. My subject was the Akutan Zero. In 1942 the Japanese attacked the Aleutian Islands, bombing Dutch Harbor twice. During one of those attacks a zero was damaged and attempted to land on Akutan island. The pilot was killed during landing, and the plane was subsequently recovered by the USA, fixed, and used to study the Zero’s characteristics to share with our pilots. This was an Eduard kit in 1/48. A great kit with a load of photo etch. I didn’t use a lot of it because many pieces were tiny and disappeared into the ether when I tried to work with them.

Cheers!
