discussion Japanese WWII aircraft

[homechild]

So, do we have a resident expert in WWII Japanese aircraft?

I'm About to start a 1:48 Zero want to read up on it first.

I'm also looking into colour schemes so it's going to be a bit of research first but don't really know where to start with books. Is there a specific publisher that's better than others?

Are there any useful websites anyone knows of?

Thanks

Hi Drew, I had a quick shuftie on the net and found these sites that might be of help.

There's lots of interesting stuff here.

The specifically modelling section seems to have gone now but there's lots of colour info etc in the research section.

Cheers
