Davek72 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 This may be a foolish move but as my Eduard Fokker E.II appears to be approaching the finish line and we still have some time to go I thought I'd do another build for this GB. Inspecting the stash brought this kit to the surface. I picked this up for I think £15 recently from the Works. I have never actually modelled a Japanese aircraft before but the Zero is a fine looking plane so I plan to give it a go here. Its a starter set so only one schemes offered being a plane flown by Lieutenant Saburo Shindo from carrier Akagi at Pearl Harbour on December 7th 1941. As I am looking for a nice easy build after all the photo etch of the Fokker E.II am going to build it OOTB. Sprue shots...all looks very tidy. Thanks for looking.

Davek72 Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Ok so I am an idiot but it's not entirely my fault. The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed (I did not) that the canopy above does not belong to a Zero....it belongs to a P40. But the P40 part of this kit is still in its sealed bag...correct P40 canopy included. So we have an Airfix packing error. Hopefully they will be nice and replace the canopy asap.

modelling minion Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 You could always build the Kate if Airfix don't play ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar issue with another kit producer about 2 years ago and they replaced in about 5 days....here's hoping. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers MM I agree I could but fancy the zero so will see what Airfix say. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
