cruiz Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Hello all Looking for a simple project to give the first try at acrylics paints, pulled out this model from the stash. Japanese WWII aircraft are the least of my interest subjects so, in my mind, everything about the zero was well documented and the only topic unsettled was if the hinomaru paint flake off as bad as the rest of the paint or crews keeps it in pristine conditions. I thought a few clicks on google would solve this but instead realized how little I knew. After several months of work in the model, web surfing and two books read finally got it completed, still managed to get some accuracy things wrong but here it is, comments and critiques are always welcomed. Academy kit, CMK cockpit set, Eduard detail set, Aber and Master gun barrels, EZ-line antenna cable. Painted with Tamiya acrylics, Vallejo primer, metallics and flat coating. Weathering with pastel chalks, Tamiya panel line accent, AMMO pigments and oil brushes Regards Carlos Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dzejo Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I like your model very much. Excellent work !!! Did you olso modify something in wheel bays? Looks deeper than Academy offering :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruiz Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Thank you dzejo Indeed they are scratched, the wheel bays in the kit are too shallow; along with the dihedral of the wings and the external tank supports those are the main corrections this kit need. Later I'll post pictures of the build. Regards Carlos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
