It is the 1st of April, 1939 and the Mitsubishi A6M Zero takes off for the first time but the model was not introduce to the Japanese Imperial Navy until the 1st of July, 1941.The first Zeros which were 15 pre-series of the A6M2 went into operation with the 12th Rengo Kōkūtai sometime in the middle of July, 1941. On September 13th, 1941; the Zeros scored their first air-to-air kills when Lieutenant Saburo Shindo attacked and shot down 27 Soviet built Polikarpov I-15s and I-16s apart of the Chinese Nationalist Air Force without any loss to themselves! 521 were active in the Pacific while roughly 328 were in first line units. During the attack on Pearl Harbor is when U.S. pilots encountered the Zero for the first time and the exact model they encountered was the carrier-borne Model 21. It's TREMENDOUS range of over 2,600 km(1,600 mi) allowed the aircraft travel farther away from it's carrier than originally expected! During 1941, the Zero quickly gained a FEARSOME reputation in the Pacific because she could easily dispose any current aircraft the allies were sending to that region. The Zero has even proved itself to be a difficult opponent for the Supermarine Spitfire and for RAF pilots.The techniques the RAF used against the German and French equipment proved to be suicidal. Allied pilots eventually came up with a new strategy on how to engage with a Zero because the traditional turning dogfight was 9/10 fatal for the allied airmen. It was better to attack from above by committing a high-speed dive, firing a few burts while passing the Zero, committed steep climb and repeat. It usually only took a few rounds from the heavy machine guns to bring down the EXTREMELY fragile Zero. This new tactic was HEAVILY used against the Japanese Zeros during the defense of Guadalcanal by Grumman F4F pilots.This tactic was made possible during the defense because of a early warning system that consisted of Coastwatchers and radar. The Japanese Imperial Navy lost many highly experienced pilots during the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway which caused the Japanese Carrier Air Force to suffer a HUGE blow, one that would cause them to NEVER fully recover.
I went to Amsterdam on business, and fortunately managed to find time to go to FOAM (www.foam.org/home). There was a fabulous exhibition of Russian colour photography from the early 20th Century. I would definitely recommend FOAM...and its a decent place for lunch too.

Added a layer of glass lacquer and a wash of Tamiya's black panel liner, which helps bring out the detail.
Need to put the IP decal on next, and paint something for the remaining dials, then I can matt it back down.

Summer House @ Castlefield Gallery: Tether: DAY ZERO
Saturday, September 11, 2010 (14:00 - 20:00)
2-8pm + 6pm Discussion
TETHER / MAX WARBURG /CHARLENE LINDBERG / CALVIN SANGSTER / GRIN & SLUTSKY
TANGENTIAL TALKS BY JOANNE MASDING / TOM IRELAND / ANTHONY PESKINE / LESLEY GUY
Tether have invited artists and collectives from around the UK for an all day event at Max Warburg Manchester (formerly Castlefield Gallery). The event is a trailer for a larger project -‐taking place in 2011-‐ which seeks to condense and concentrate the lifespan of a conventional curatorial project into a short space of time without compromising the amount of content within the program.
From 2pm, Calvin Sangter will reflect on sensuality and exclusivity, launching his fragrance, Solve & Coagula, Charlene Lindberg will build a moving wall while cocktail shakers Grin & Slutsky will serve a new drink, The Black Swan.
From 6pm, artists will talk about a tangential passion in a 'soap box moment', that visitors will be energised and empowered to break free from the shackles of their self-‐doubt and join Max Warburg in speaking freely without inhibition. Subjects covered will be: bugs (true bugs, dead bugs and moths); the Apollo Space Program; Frankenstein; Poodles (drawing on ideas from domestic breeding of pets and our relationship to the natural world, to Eastern European literature and the Devil and the caves at Lascaux); and advertising.
Max Warburg is a curator based in Zurich and London. More at maxwarburggallery.blogspot.com/
Come and go as you wish between 2-6pm and/or join the discussion at 6pm.

We got the film back for the Zero Image shots and we're quite satisfied, beings how it was the first run at it. Above Chris is timing the shot with a stopwatch. The bottom right the outcome. I can't wait to get another roll shot, I might take it out today while Chris is at work!

I visited my family's summer cottage with Lilia (Lilin) and Terra (Zero) and toook some pictures. Nothing too fancy, but it has been ages since I last photographed my dolls properly so I guess they are better than nothing :3
Redhill's platform zero has a smattering of passengers for the 1843 to Reading, arriving from the Reigate line. The platform indicator pointlessly tells passengers not to board this terminating train, even though it reverses and leaves within a few minutes!
I watched macross zero (great movie!!!) and I wanted to design a cool plane but it is not a variable fighter just regular fixed winged aircraft (ps: i messed up the wings shadow ;)
At the ridiculous iso of 25,600 on the D3 at f2.8 still gave 1/200th. I should have pulled down the shutter speed really but it was almost too dark to see the settings, no wonder they have put lights on the D4 controls.

This Zero was captured on the island of Saipan in World War II and used for evaluation by the U.S. Army Air Corps. Charles Lindbergh was one of the pilots who test flew this one.
