Thanks for letting us know, Dan. He sure is being prolific.
For the Zero 52, Trotskiy has provided two tail numbers: 81-161 of the 381st Naval Air Group, stationed in Aichi Prefecture as of March 1944 (Showa 19), and 43-188 of the 343d Naval Air Group, stationed on Guam in June 1944.
Since he began reissuing models, Trotskiy has added an identifier to the file number. In some cases, a small letter that indicates the carrier air group (so far, he has used “a” for Akagi, “h” for Hiryu, “s” for Soryu, and “z” for Zuikaki) or a number that indicates the tail number of one of the aircraft.
How did you ever find the "archive" site? The Japanese appears to read something to the effect that the site is closed for some reason. I think it also asks for the location of the site not to be revealed. However, since there are no action links, I don't think any harm has been done. There sure are a lot of neat airplanes. Maybe someone will eventually find out how to get into the site. I would be more than happy to pay for some of those models.
