A6M3 ZERO RESTORATION PROJECT BY "LEGEND FLYERS" [A Tour With Dan Hammer At Paine Field, Washington]

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 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.

Let's be honest here, this is NOT a restoration, this is a whole new aircraft.
