Seems every piece of a Japanese plane is from a zero. I bought this section of fusilage because it looked interesting & I had a hunch it was something special. No idea it would turn out this well!! http://www.j-aircraft.org/smf/index.php?topic=6878.0 & http://www.j-aircraft.org/smf/index.php?topic=8836.0 Enjoy the write up.

Quite an elaborate read Jareth. Japan is an entirely new subject to me. But do I understand you correctly when I say you bought one of those Japanese fighter planes? Well, the relics of it, that is.

I did NOT know that could be done! Buying WWII items of that size! Whenever tanks or planes are discovered in Europe, they are said to belong to the country they're "buried" in, or possibly the country that originally owned the plane, be it Axis or Allies, depending on the local law. You must have a adequate storage available. Are you putting the plane on display?

I mean ... WOW! :thumbup:

Flabbergasted,

No, no, it's just a small section souvinered during WW2 off the side of the plane in the photos. NOT the whole plane!

Oh! Wait ... I did not look close enough ... the small sections are matched with images of entire planes in order to identify them ... pardon me Jareth, I was too hasty with my conclusion.

Not too hasty with enthusiasm though. The parts are exquisite. Artefacts that speak of what happened, very much so. Again, congratulations :thumbup:
