Nanond Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hasegawa venerable 1:72 Nakajima A6M2-N, floatplane version of the famous A6M2 Zero. The kit is still quite nice despite its age, but the decals have become yellow and brittle. As a result, I masked and painted nearly all the markings, except the tail code and some tiny text decals.

Sky Keg Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 This Rufe turned out great. Even more impressive is how you overcame the aged decals and created your own by painting them. I really like the subtle discoloration between panels. It`s certainly one to be proud of. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am ready for it when Eduard will release their 1:48 Rufe. Nanond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
