  1. The Zero is now primed pre shaded and painted. For the primer i used tamiya liquid surface primer 80% leveling thinner and 20% primer then for the underside color i used Mr color 308 grey mixed with a bit of white and for the top green i did not have the correct IJN green so i mixed Mr color 328 blue 329 yellow & 136 green i used the box art as a guide (it is now covered in little green dots where i was trying to match the color of the box art (who else does that when mixing a color) ? On with the finishing touches now cheers !!!
  2. Sweeet little Sakae !!!!!!! Horizontal stabilizers fit perfect as expected. The wing leading edge was given a coat of liquid surface primer then sanded down to 4000 grit. Getting somewhere now ready now for primer and paint love this part of a build......:-) More to come very soon cheers !
  3. Well this Nakajima built zero's cockpit is now complete i think it is acceptable built from the box and also the wing roots i just brush applied some tamiya liquid surface primer to remove any hint of a joint (Probably doesn't need it) but even the slightest gap on 1/72 will stand out.....
  4. Sweet Cockpit !!!! nice work love the Slim fuselage of the Cobra.
  5. This will be an interesting build i will be watching what do you think of the hobbyboss kit ?
  6. Hi it's been a year since my first post on ARC because i moved from South Australia to Western Australia but set up again for this great hobby of ours. My first post on ARC is still unfinished Hasegawa 1/72 F/A 18C waiting for parts to finish that project off then will be posting that build progress straight after this one. This kit i will be building 100% OOB but it is such an excellent little kit it's worth sharing the build. Super clear thin canopy will show all cockpit detail for sure will have a very nice effect to the finished Zero. Beautiful surface detail. Cockpit parts simp
  7. Thanks Pete still deciding on the markings leaning towards the Royal Maces as ive got a super hornet with those markings too. Plenty more to come !!!! LEE.
  8. Nice build so far mate will be watching. Im new to arc also
  9. Gday from Australia my first time on arc or any forum so bear with me im using the best parts from the hasegawa and academy to make what I think a 1/72 bug should be. I will work from the hasegawa fuselage because I like the shape better where the kink just above the wing root extends all the way to the lex fences as it should academy does not but academy does other parts better too so ill use them on the hasegawa fuselage LOL !! The darker color parts are the academy bits.:rolleyes:/>/>/> I also found the academy canopy has the correct profile so in order to fit to the fuselage
