Shelliecool Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Ready for inspection is my 1:72 Mitsubishi A6M2b 'Zero' by Airfix. This has to be one of the easiest and straightforward kits I have built, no flash on the sprues, fits nicely, and just enough detail. Paint was a slight issue, Humbrol being famously terrible to airbrush, but I overcame this by mixing my own off white/green for the top coat of the aircraft. All in all a nice little kit, I hope it does the aircraft which was declared the best carrier fighter aircraft in the world when it first flew justice. Thanks for looking. 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I had to go back and double check the scale. Excellent job for 1/72. (probably better than I could manage in 1/48 to be honest). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 That is a very realistic looking Zero, like the weathering and the overall paint scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
