Epeeman Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 All, Completed Tamiya's excellent 48 scale Zero kit that includes figures. Expensive kit, but went together with no issues and this one has an amazingly detailed cockpit for the scale. As always, built entirely from the box and have reverted back to brush painting on this one. Used the AKM chipping effects fluid to try and give it the Japanese flaked paint look. Great figures in this kit too. This would have looked great on a diorama but I'm no good at them so displayed in my cabinet as is. As always, constructive comments welcomed.

Billydick Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 A smashing, well weathered Zero. Be nice if you could put it on a base incorporating the figures. BillyD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Nice build and painting of the figures. Tamiya are quite good with detailing the cockpit, even the the 1/72 kit is similarly well detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Nice build - really well done, nicely finished... I have never built a Japanese aeroplane in all my years of modelling. Forgive me me for going off topic but I used to fence Epee in Gravesend. We used to use the Grammar School. Is that club still going? There used to be a lefty there who was ex GB Team (John?)- always hard to beat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildeSau75 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Nice Zero - the chipping looks good and I especially like the figures. Great job on this classic kit. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 A FANTASTIC ZERO...the weathering is subtle but most effective SUPERB build and one good looking STUNNER ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Gentlemen - Thank you all kindly. 8 hours ago, Grey Beema said: Nice build - really well done, nicely finished...

Is that club still going? There used to be a lefty there who was ex GB Team (John?)- always hard to beat... GB - Yes, the club (Gravesham Fencing Club) is still going but we now meet at a local leisure centre (Cygnets in Northfleet) and yes, John is still involved in the club. I've been a member for about 8 years and fence epee (hence my forum name) Tuesday and Friday evening. Drop me a PM with your details and I'll mention your contact to the older members of the club if you like. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
