wow I kinda late to knew your version, wonderful model and really neat on weathering effect.

in my research, I found that they use Texan for Zero and..first thought for precision I would use that, but for sentimental reason I had to make the real Zero , for representative of Jim's overjoy for aviation.

cheers

Nice work, Tekzo. This is a very fascinating scene, showing how love of a flying machine
could transcend cultural, age, and other differences, even in the middle of a war. Furthermore, I find it interesting that the scene effects people around the world the same way. Thanks for building and sharing it!

Just found this thread. I also love the movie and the great soundtrack by John Williams. Your diorama is an inspiring rendition of that scene! Well done!!!
