The_Animal Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) My friend, Hitoshi Ono (he's my brother from a different mother - at least that's what we call each other), was a college room-mate of mine, back in 1992-93. He's a good buddy of mine who lives in Singapore now with his wife and daughter. I never knew he was into scale modeling. But he's currently working on a Mitsubishi A6M Zero in 1/32nd scale. Just thought I'd give his scale modeling a push. His detailing is really something else. In his own words: "最近のマイブームはプラモ作り。時間を作ってはセコセコ色塗り、組み立てをしています。 今回取り組んでいるのは、タミヤの三菱零式艦上戦闘機21型 1/32スケール。いわゆるゼロ戦の真珠湾攻撃バージョン。 1ヶ月かけて、エンジンとコックピットが完成。でも機体と組んでしまうと、殆ど見えなくなってしまう(苦笑)ので、記念撮影。 結構色使いにも凝ってます。素人の割にはなかなかの出来栄えです。" If you're wondering, this is the Tamiya 1/32nd scale A6M2 (Type 21) Zero. His detailing work is freakin' awesome. Damn, makes me think I should get my tail-end going on that F-14A that I've been needing to finish for several years now.

Jay Chladek Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 SWEET! Imagine how little studying you guys would have done in college if you both figured out you were model builders. Then times in the dorm would have been devoted to just building models. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'll actually complete the darned F-14A this year...then again...I'd better not get ahead of myself. I've said that five years running now, will be six by the end of this year :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to try the same https://au.edubirdie.com/mba-assignment-help i would like to have more time for this. Unfortunately, now all the time it takes to look for mba assignment help, and there is simply no time for classes. By the way, how is he doing right now, don’t you know?
