Hey All,

 

Most recently, the Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubishi M6A5/5a Zero Fighter, in Mitsubishi factory paint.

Nice looking Zero Curt 👍🏻
I like the paint fading in the wings and chipping along the leading edges and wing roots.

Thanks, Steve. I’ve begun to use pigments over flat finishes to simulate uneven fading, as this is just so easy compared to trying to do that with paint.  I kept chipping to a relative minimum, as it’s my opinion that too many Japanese airplanes overdo chipping.

Is that guy scratchbuilt or is there an actual kit that tiny?

BanDai makes it. Really well done for such a tiny kit. I think it cost $12. The 1/144 was over $100. So 1/350 it was.

Whoaaa!!!

Nice work, Ray! I really like the 1/72 P-8A...might have to look into picking up one of those.

Thanks Andrew, 

 

There was a lot of extra work to the base kit to get it to that stage.

Wow! To all the builders of late, beautiful work! 

 

Brother Ray, You have been busy!  Nice slipper tanks on the Viscount.  Leave it to the Brits to put extra gas bags on their passenger transports.

 

Shawn & Don, Love those Voodoos and that demo Tomcat!   Yes, it have been over forty years since I built a Matchbox Voodoo.  Very basic.
