neil5208 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 So the second of the four Japanese aircraft I am putting together, Airfix's Mitsubishi Zero, built OOB with H Models Zero over Saipan decal set. The decals represent an aircraft, white 8-07 captured by the US Marines on Saipan Island in June 1944 and was transfered to the US for testing.This will be the second Airfix Zero I have built but the first was a normal kit where as this and no3 are both starter sets picked up from a well known supermarket and I get the feeling the starter sets quality is not as high as the normal kit (also had one of the Mustang starter from the same supermarket which had the wrong decals) I don't know if anyone has noticed this? The kit built fairly well but had flash on some of the smaller parts and the transparency moulding was not as defined as the previous Zero built, Used Tamiya acrylics through out.

Greg Law Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) That's an unusual scheme. I like your line up. You should do an Oscar next. The early one with the two bladed prop looks good. You should show the other zero. Looks like you made a nice job of a complicated scheme. Edited March 31, 2019 by Greg Law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
