When you paint a small sports car like a Cobra or have it repainted, it's typically put on a rotisery type system since the car is so low. This mechanism can turn the vehicle completely over so the painter can spray evenly from top to bottom of the body panels. But I never thought about using one for photography.

Well, if you find one, I certainly hope it is built better than the Japanese Mitsubushi aircraft we fought, over the South Pacific, in WWII.

Excuse me? You are refering to the Japanese Zero (aka Jap Zero). During the initial years of the war, that aircraft was regarded as superior to anything America had. I am an American and grew up during WWII and certainly was pleased when we finally turned the corner with superior aircraft, but that Mitsubishi aircraft was a formidible oppenent with their well-trained experienced fighter pilots at that stage of the war.

That is a historical fact.

"The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a long-range fighter aircraft operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS) from 1940 to 1945. The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 Carrier Fighter (零式艦上戦闘機 rei-shiki-kanjou-sentouki?), and also designated as the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen and Mitsubishi Navy 12-shi Carrier Fighter. The A6M was usually referred to by the Allies as the "Zero", from the 'Navy Type 0 Carrier Fighter' designation. The official Allied reporting name was Zeke.

When it was introduced early in World War II, the Zero was considered the most capable carrier-based fighter in the world, combining excellent maneuverability and very long range.[1] In early combat operations, the Zero gained a legendary reputation as a dogfighter, achieving the outstanding kill ratio of 12 to 1,[2] but by mid-1942 a combination of new tactics and the introduction of better equipment enabled the Allied pilots to engage the Zero on more equal terms.[3]" -Wikipedia

What kind of mileage do you get with that bean burner anyway? LOL. Do yoiu drive it, or does it just drag you along?
Seriously though, Danelo, why don't you drive anymore?

During 1942 the Zero was regarded as superior to our F4F's
but by early '43 we had the F6F's and F4U's out there with better trained pilots and more experienced ones. The Zero
wasn't successful because of how well it was built but rather because of more experienced pilots at the beginning, and the way it was constructed with no armour.

It didn't build that kill ratio of 12 to 1 fighting American planes and pilots. Most of those kills were of Chinese, British, Aussies, and Dutch pilots. By the time I got out there in '43, American pilots and gunners had practically reversed that ratio. And the battle of Midway had nearly wiped out the Japanese Air Force's experienced pilots. The ones still in the air had little or no idea of how to attack our formations. They attacked from all directions and we often thought that they were, at times, firing into each other.

You are an American who, by your own words, grew up during WWII. Good for you. On the other hand I am an American who was there and fought those very planes you are so knowledgeable of. Took a bullet from one, shot another down with a lucky hit. Twenty rounds and it lit up like a Christmas Tree. Their gas tanks were not protected.

Unless you've seen them, and fought them, you have the book learning, but absolutely no real knowledge of what they were and what they could do.

Now let's get back to automobiles. Sorry I opened your Pandora's box of book learning

And that is a "Historical Fact!"
