Hey Rob,
Yes there's two very good references published by Ali D'Italia, #9 SM.79 Part I and #11 SM.79 Part II, let me know if there's anything you need.

Thanks, man - I am looking to get some 3-view drawings - are these books appreciably better for that than the Squadron book? I am not a huge fan of the Squadron book on the A6M Zero - but I know what's wrong with it (A LOT!). Is the Squadron book reasonably accurate?

Thanks, again!

Rob, I have all of squadron's references for Italian aircraft, however I don't use those references to check detail or accuracy, I use ADI's stuff. If you want I'll scan 3 view drawings for you. btw would love to see some of your work.

Ciao,

Vince, you'd absolutely ROCK MY WORLD if you sent some scans of the drawings!

I'll PM you with my e-mail addy...

Thanks!

Incoming! :D

My work??? Wow - well, I have been a Japanese aircraft builder, but keep wandering the sidewalks of the Italian aircraft, and keep wanting to step inside - am thinking it'll be sooner than later. I am guessing the whole Japanese thing wouldn't fit in here, so won't bother (it would be much better for me to break from my "norms" and build Italian than for you to break from yours and start displaying Japanese).

So... I've got a few, and I suppose you could say what the Marine recruiter said to me: "Well, I think you made your choice when you walked in here." Now, I'm leaning toward the Hasegawa Veltro. As they say in West Virginia, "Thems's purty..."
