A bit OT but,
next time you're in the Imperial Museum of War in London, have look at the Zero tail there, focus on the fasteners and the used technique.

The thing that catched my attention was the use of thousands of castle nuts, but not secured with a pin, but a tiny piece of wire, individually cut and patiently bent around each bolt(iirc they used it to attach the sheetmetal to the frame)
It's something that makes you cry in despair if you think about the poor bastard who had to do this - but it's also a beautiful example of high quality Japanese craftsmanship....
...and waste of precious time in such situations.

This is not Japanese

Or might be one or two of them lost in UK hapend to work here

Regarding the photo : not really inside but...somehow !

Nice to see images from my thread over at SimHQ popping up. They're slowly spreading around and about the net. The thread has many more early war pics and is here:
