1/72 Airfix A6M2b Type 21 Model 0 Zeke


Recommended Posts

I completed the 1/72 Airfix Zero starter kit. I bought it off eBay for $3 plus shipping. I was a nice kit with the option to fold the wingtips. In comparison to Hasegawa it was a little rough with a little cleanup required and deep panel lines but I think it turned out well. This one depicts AI-102 from the Akagi during the Midway attack. I used Tamiya's XF-12 JN Grey as the base and oils for the weathering.

Very nice indeed.  Looks great on the 'deck'.  I hadn't realised the kit came with the folding wing tips.  It's not in my usual sphere of interest but I think I might have to get one of these based after seeing your build.

Excellent build of this lovely kit, guess the most convincing presentation for a Zero is on a wooden aircraft carrier deck.
