- A special thank you to Bob and Dan Hammer for letting me check out their A6M3-32 HAMP that they have restored to be one of the most beautiful Japanese Zero projects in the world. Give this a thumbs up if you are a Zero fan, want a zero simulation aircraft, or you just plain outright liked this video. Thanks for watching...Juice

I lived on Okinawa Island for almost two years, great to hear from you.
That is some gorgeous workmanship! 😊😊
It's not a total restoration but they used over 200 original parts off the zero they found and it's a great replica in my book. Took them a long time to get it done.
Wow! That looks great!!
Great historic stuff Juice….awesome
I love WW2 restorations. The thing that gets me about Zeros specifically is the coloration. The "amber" color was a lacquer that went over a base gray color, so it would have been more subtly amber and more gray-ish than this restoration; and back in the day the lacquer faded so much in the sun the base gray showed through enough to cause confusion over the original color (e.g. the white Zeros in older war movies). The dark reddish brown on the back of the prop blades would have stopped where the paddle meets the shaft. The aotake color ("zinc chromate") was also a lacquer, and varied a lot between hues of blue and green depending on Mitsubishi or Nakajima(?) manufacture, but wasn't an in-your-face color since the base color still showed through. At least according to recent Japanese research on the original colors. The cowling looks to be a good color! Very dark navy-ish but not quite black.
Thank you for your comments. However on the overall amber brown we used in the aircraft it is as correct as any zero in the world. We had original skins that were sent to PPG military aerospace coatings for analysis. The red oxide primer was present in these pieces as well as the original Japanese top coat. Through computer analysis and spectrum analyzer PPG custom mixed the color for us into there flat military aerospace coating. We have these surviving skins here at the project and when held up to the airplane they are amazingly correct.
@@danielhammer7968 That's interesting. I've seen many Japanese sources with the same analyis but different conclusions.
Cool
That’s some sweet stencil work.
P.S. Nice try with the grenade. Serious determination!
Australian engineer /pilot,i purchased a full copy of "Hiro 's, auto biography of his Zero fighter........if your trying to understand the zero complete history , get a copy & read the mans words ,it will give you a real respect for the full story , what really happened, ......ox carts and all .....lest we forget.
Australian engineer/pilot, "Hiro"'s book....having to carry the prototype zero on an Ox cart wings on one cart , fuselage on the other, with man walking out front ,40 miles on foot to the test airfield ,....Hiro , wrote he was amused that this aircraft was 400 Mph doing walking speed over cobbled stone path to reach the airfield...........test pilots deaths& causes is worth reading,... Education is free if your mind is open to learning your history,........Hiro said she was a samurai sword for the air , .....", To these boys who have rebirth this zero, History wrote the story but you guys have put the soul back into the skies, where it belongs , keep doing the awsome work ....the public is catching up on there history ..and renactments..............Hiros words on the subject of kamakazi in his book, really show ,his personal feelings of how he felt about his team's work used in that way .........he didn't like it at all..sad day for him ............keep going gents ,......do the uniforms and hanger next .....period ....... contact Mitsubishi they are very helpful, and open minded.

Thanks for the comments 😉 and it's strange how you can use an engine from a DC three try blade prop to replicate this aircraft. Zero is one of the rarest airplanes and hardest to restore in the world I believe. In these guys have done Schmidt 262s.
Let's be honest here, this is NOT a restoration, this is a whole new aircraft.
Ding, ding, ding! So 200 original parts. I mix my words.
Have to admit my heart skipped a beat at 5:25….
❤️
Wonder how it will handle compared to the model 52.
Yeah, and with 200 original parts and the difference in the tail and engine, it would be interesting to feel the difference.
Almost accurate reproduction, not a 'restoration'.
Very true, they had very little to build on when you think about it. Good point 😉
You know this makes me wonder about our upcoming DCS World Corsair. Are you sure they didn't say next summer? LOL.
Honestly, nobody knows.
Who knows. Mag 3 is probably the worst dev when it comes to communication. But, the F-4 looks like it’s going to be very solid.
2 weeks 😂
I would want a nice wooden box to for $2000000
Including an airplane, $2.1 million
