Nishikaichi Zero Livery 2024-07-10

Textures only repaint of the WWII Fighters A6M5 from A2A-Shockwave. The textures are in DXT5 bmp format and have been tested only in FSX SP2 Acceleration, running in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The livery depicted in this repaint is that of PO 1c Shigenori Nishikaichi, who flew in the second wave from the IJN carrier Hiryu, in the attack on Pearl Harbor, HI, 7 December, 1941. The livery itself is historically accurate, with the "minor" exception that Nishikaichi's machine was an A6M2, Type 0 Model 21, rather than the later A6M5. However, the A2A simulations model presents one of the best available Zeros of any sort for use in FSX and has an excellent paint kit available for it produced by Martin Catney. Acknowledgements, historical images and a brief history are contained in the readme file.
