almac Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Afternoon All. This is my latest finished model the Tamiya 1/72 A6m3 Hamp. This is a really nice kit that goes together really well. I can't think of any problem areas at all. The only issues were a self-inflicted decal disaster which ended up needing a complete strip-down and repaint. I always have at least one DOH! moment per kit. Anyways here are some pics. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Nice clean build, and not over weathered. Which paint did you use for the amber grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ian thanks for your comment. As for the paint I used Tamiya xf76 IJN grey/green over a black base coat. My intention was to add some interest to a potentially dull single colour plane. I don’t think my photos show this but there is a subtle variation to the colour. Cheers Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Beautiful Hamp, love the finish on her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The problem with the Zero is that it has near perfect proportions. The problem with Tamiya kits is a near perfect reproduction of the Zero. So it looks easy. Your near perfect production of both is clearly no accident. Really like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
