Dude that 110 is legit. Kit? I have the Eduard 1/48 in the stash


That one is the AirFix 1/72 kit if I remember right. I also have the Eduard 1/48 somewhere in my stash.

We need to set aside a modeling time and both build the 110 at the same time.

once American pilots learned how to counter the Zero’s performance advantages, the Zero’s had no way to counter the American advantages in armor, self-sealing fuel tanks, and firepower.


If I remember correctly, the faster it went, the harder the Zero became to fly. But nothing in the sky could turn with the zero at slow speeds. So the American pilots learned to fight them in energy flights as opposed to turning fights. Once they figured that out, the advantages they once possessed became quickly diminished and American kill right sky rocketed.

It was in a dive, and the Americans were taught to roll right and pull out as zeros couldn't do that
