Some info from the guy who did the paint ..Aotea... from war thunder live.
"Normally I don't do mix-n-match skin requests. What if the Luftwaffe used Spitfires, what if the IJN had Me262s, etc...
You see the Swedish Air Force nearly did purchase Zeros from the Japanese.
At the onset of World War II, the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet) was equipped with largely obsolete Gloster Gladiators. To augment this, Sweden ordered 120 Seversky P-35 and 144 P-66 Vanguard aircraft from the United States. However, on 18 June 1940 after the German occupation of Norway, the United States declared an embargo against exporting weapons to any nation other than Great Britain. As the result, the Flygvapnet suddenly faced a shortage of modern fighters. Several other foreign alternatives were considered: the Finnish VL Myrsky and Soviet Polikarpov I-16 were deemed unsatisfactory. The A6M2 model 11 was exactly what they wanted, and although they tried it became too difficult to find a delivery route from Japan to Sweden.
Eventually, the Flygvapnet purchased home-grown fighters in the form of the Zero-like FFVS J-22. This skin is my best guess at what the Zero would have looked like based on the J-22s that were used instead. "
