JA01AP 1.2

Thank you very much for making the 'ASADORI' livery, Nicola.

Here is a little explanation for the Japanese letters on the body of the Helicopter.

The letters on the front doors can be read as 'ASAHI SHINBUN', Morning Sunshine Newspaper. The letters on the middle body are KANA characters, and it says 'ASADORI', meaning a morning bird. As far as I know, there is no bird that is called a morning bird here in Japan, so this must be the word created from the the company name, taking 'ASA', a morning, to mix with 'DORI', a bird, to make 'Morning Bird'. A Morning Sunshine Newspaper's helicopter that flies, so it is called a Morning Bird. I hope this explanation makes sense to you guys. A Asahi Shinbun's flag logo on the right actually needs to be horizontally flipped, except the Japanese letter.

Thank you for your appreciation, Ru-Ski, and also for your advice re the flag logo and the information about the livery's origin.

I've now corrected the right-hand side flag logo, as per your advice.

Thank you Nicola for you care. Because of my bad explanation, using the term 'horizontal flip', the flag tilts to the right instead of left you will see on the original aircraft.

I attached the link to a picture of right side of 01.

Thank you very much for the update, and sorry for the confusion.
