Sinking Shinano Zero Fighter Tail Marking

Here's a tid-bit for the reference hunters:

The "Sinking Shinano" mission has you using a zero fighter to get away -

The V-103 on the back is most likely a reference to Saburo Sakai.

According to this little gem the V-103 was one of his fighters, and was recovered in 1993 from a swamp in Guadalcanal.

Another website shows a photo of the wing, and it is as the website above indicates a "pale grey" colour.

Another addition to the reference list.
