Challenge 287: Kami Kaze mission

This plane is the A6M Zero, which was used in kami kaze missions in the Pacific in World War II. The 3D model I've used here isn't the best quality, but it shows the shape of the plane clearly enough.

Can you breathe life into this rather flat model?

High res is here.

Steve,
Model courtesy of Anders Lejczak in Sweden. I'll send him a link to the page at the end of the week so that he can see what we have done to his beautiful model.

Re: Challenge 287: Kami Kaze mission

And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the Tricolour
I must fear evil, fir I am but mortal and mortals can only die
Asking questions, pleading answers from the nameless faceless watchers
That parade the carpeted corridors of Whitehall
Who orders desecration, mutilation, verbal masturbation in the guarded bureaucratic wombs
Minister, Minister care for your children,
Order them not into damnation
To eliminate those who would trespass against you,
For whose is the kingdom, the power, the glory for ever and ever
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

Re: Challenge 287: Kami Kaze mission

Greetings Steve and everyone else. I popped in to say hello and Steve's Zero caught me hook, line and sinker. It's very appropriate to a challenge I have just submitted so I thought I would combind the 2 and put the Zero up against the Spitfire in a duel over the Cliffs of Dover. Hope it rises to the challenge. I wouldn't like to be in a situation like this against a Kami Kaze. What are the chances that at that point where you are trying to avoid him that he's not going to suddenly bank to the right? At 800 plus m.p.h there wouldn't be much time to get a fright though.

Your book has been tremendous Steve. Thank you very much. What happened at Graphic.com's foto monterge. I thought I had it covered with my Captain's Cabin?

Keep on rendering everyone. There's been some great submissions.

Well.... I almost felt bad while makeing this... but, when I first read the words "kami kaze" my thought went to all those who lost their life in 9-11 douring the twin towers attack.
So.. here is mine...
