Here are some development screenshots of the upcoming A6M3 Model 32 and the updated A6M2 Zero fighter. The A6M3 Model 32 is a mid war variant of the famed Japanese Type 0 Fighter. With a distinct look from its squared off wings, it was initially thought to be an entirely new type of fighter and given the Allied codename "Hamp".
Thanks to Greebo for making the skins to both these planes. The paint scheme on the A6M2 is from the Tainan Air Group based in New Guinea in 1942 and was one of the aircraft flown by famed Japanese ace Saburo Sakai. The paint scheme on the A6M3 is from the 204th Naval Air Group based in Rabaul in 1943.
