Calum Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 All done . This aircraft was originally painted in overall grey green but then had a rough over spray of the dark green. I tried to duplicate this but I didn't see the above image until I'd nearly finished so I don't think I really got there. Still it's good enough for the cabinet. The kit comes with 5 really nice figures so I thought I'd have a go at painting 1 up. The base is a cheap $3 frame. I added the grass matt and added some mud/dirt along with bit of foliage to break it up a bit. The Kit 1/48 Tamiya Mitsubishi A6M3/3a Zero (Zeke) Kit No 61108 Aftermarket None - this is straight from the box Painted with Gunze Lacquers for the main colours Tamiya Acrylics for the interior Testors and Tamiya Gloss Coats Testors Dullcoate Vallejo and oils for the details Weathered with Various Oils, Pigments, Pastels and Tamiya Weathering sets Build thread here 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Brilliantly finished sir, I'm thinking about one of these for my next build. I'll head over to the WIP to see how much fun it was. That worn look is right up my street. Bravo indeed. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
