My most recent work


Recommended Posts

Got my hands on the Tamiya 1/32 Mitsubishi A6M2b. Completed it a while ago (mid 2017'ish) , but unfortunately, no space at the time to display it, so it has been in its storage box since.

 

Here are some pics of the finished model.

Excellent build, weathering and finish, I particularly like the fact that you have retained the sheen of thinly applied paint on metal and not 'matted' too much, very nice.

@Kitchen Modeller  Here is a picture just prior to the first coat of the final colour.  The base was Tamiya's enamel fine white surface primer (87044), which I decanted.  I tend not to spray directly from tins, unless I was doing a mural on a railway wall :D.  On top of that was a very light dusting of the Tamiya LP-33 Grey Green.  Then sanded down after a day drying with a 6000 grit emery cloth.  The insignia was then masked over and the final light coats of LP-33 applied.

Gorgeous. One to be very proud of. Shame about the display restrictions.

I've never previously noticed the large span of the ailerons relative to the wing span.

Compared to, say, a Spitfire, they look huge.

Thanks for posting

Pete
