Great work (F-89 Scorpion guy on APforums).
Looks nice and dynamic... as the Pearl Harbour movie was... w/out the cheesy horrible romance, of course. :D

Holy damn thats awsome! Can tell you have been pretty busy with the comic as well. keep up the good work. Though that third zero on the left looks like its just stationary, mabye add some small contrails or speed lines to make it look like its moving more.

Joe-

Nice page, has great movement to it. It's what you call a Truck page right? Anyway it is really good...has alot of drama to it.

Very cool picture. I also like the fast movement in it.
One error though: the two blue stripes where reserved to the flight leader only ;)

Thanks for commenting!

But I believe the two blue stripes were painted on all aircraft flying from the carrier Hiryu.
:iconsurprize:
Oh no, that would not be good at all :P
Anyway those stripes were called "Shikikan-Hyoshiki" or "Leader Insignia" indicating air crew's position among commanding chain.

In case of ZEROs the General Rules are as follows:

1. Shotai (3 Planes) Leader has one stripe over code letters
2. Buntai (2-3 Shotai) Leader has one stripe over code letters plus one stripe below them
3. Hikotai (is just one person for each carrier and led the whole air crews of that particular carrier in the air.) Two stripes over code letters plus one stripe below them.

Are you talking about the tail stripes? Whups. I thought you meant the fuselage markings!

I have one stripe over the code letters on the plane on the left, but none on the others (I can't remember if I did any tail stripes on the plane farthest away).

If you're talking about the tail markings, wouldn't this be correct if the plane on the left is a Shotai leader?
:iconsurprize:
Sorry, took me some time.
I am not sure if I was too blind to see that before or if you corrected it. I presume that I was simply too tired but the drawing is flawless as it is :)
