Kate Replica

I came across this pic of a Kate replica. Any idea of it’s identity?

There is a list on Warbird Information Exchange of the aircraft used in the film.
http://www.warbirdinformationexchang…/data/tora.xls
Line 82 is A1-235.

I wanted to reply yesterday and I searched the excel sheet already.
But The excel sheet markes AI-235 ,as the Kate’s Tail shows AI-325.

Misprint in the excel sheet?
Did all Kate’s have AI-3.. markings? i.s.o AI-2..

Regards
Johan

Only thing it could be is one of the Tora! aircraft.

A better bet might be to ask over on the WiX forum. There’s a vast font of knowledge over there when it comes to Tora! aircraft.

Kate from a BT-13

It looks like one of the rebuilt BT-13’s for the movie Tora Tora.
They extended the fuselage, wings, etc.
They also rebuilt T-6’s to look like Zeros.
The T-6 Zeros are easy to identify on the ground because of their short landing gear.
