Basuroy Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 My first zero , the airfix 72nd kit , was a neat and tidy little model . I considered it was only fair that I weather this one and do so thoroughly ! The model is intended to depict a machine as may be found in a museum or collection still in its original paint job . The entire airframe was painted NMF before chipping it . The kit is extraordinary , it is a pity one cannot see much inside the cockpit but it puts resin aftermarket to shame . I hope you enjoy my attempt at the "weathered Japanese airplane" stereotype The paint scheme I believe depicts an airplane as seen in some movie , I suspect it may be fiction but I still opted for it because the white bands lends some contrast to the model . The seat belts are some generic items I have and not likely accurate for a zero . 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squibby Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Stunning work, the chipping effects are really nicely executed. Agree that the Tamiya 1/72 zero is easily one of the best 1/72 models you can get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
