Erwin Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 I started with the float and wing. To avoid the float from not staying in place by just glueing,I added two small screws to fix it stronger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f111guru Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 What a monster that will be. Great start and a brilliant way to avoid a disastrous adhesion failure. Your color mix to me appears spot on. Looking forward to the rest of the build. Good Luck, Ron VanDerwarker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Nice work so far, I didn't even realise a 1/24 Zero kit existed. I don't know if you were aware but a lot of recent research suggests that Zero's and Rufe's were not a pale grey colour but more of a caramel/green colour. If you're interested in what the current research says to the colour's id take a look at either Nick Millman or Greg Springer's posts on here or other forums to see what they suggest that the colour should be. IF you're interested there's a very good discussion posted here : Hope i'm not teaching you to suck eggs ! Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
