Here is the classic Nemo A6M Zero Fighter, here it is recolored to look like a model of an A6M5 version I saw...

Thanks Farline and atlas, they are looking great!

Fairline, while you are changing all the Nemo British camo patterns, would you want to change the Avro Lancaster and the Vickers Wellington also?

I have a version of the Type 1 Chi-He for you!

[Boco]

Okay whizzes! What were the calibers of 13pdr, 18pdr, 60pdr, and pom-poms?

[Pap1723]

Thanks Curt!

Here is Fairline's modified Typhoon that I think turned it into a Hawker Tempest V, according to what I read and what I've seen, the Tempest had squared wings instead of the curved wings. It did something with the drag or maneuverability, so that is really all I did is square off the wings...

[curtsibling]

Yep, some of the Tempest's had that distinctive clip-wing feature...

13pdr = 3 inch (76.2mm)
18pdr = 3.3 inch (84mm)
60pdr = 5 inch (127mm)

not sure about the pom-pom, but it was a pissy little gun I think.

there's a good site for WW1 British Artillery here:

Those are awesome Jim!

The artillery looks spot-on!

[curtsibling]

OK this is the Case/Anzac/FMK Lanc I've tweaked and added cammo to. Their original was superb without being messed with, but anyway.... If anyone else had a hand in the original, I'm sure there's space for their sig somewhere

PS Pap - make sure you make this the most powerful bomber until the B29 - the Lancaster carried twice the bomb load of a girly B17. I see in your scenario there is a tendency to make the US units much stronger than the British ones I like the scenario a lot otherwise.
