ErikT Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I had a little fun with this one, especially with the weathering and paint chipping. The model kit itself was quite simple with decent fit, and I finished the entire thing in about a week of spare time. Enjoy! 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfman Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Great looking Zero, a weathering masterclass ! Wulfman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Looking good. Chipping and weathering look excellent. I've got one in the stash, but I'm going to practice some chipping techniques on a test mule first I think. I keep putting it off as it's something I've not tried yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 That looks very nice, or better said excellent. I can see you must have a lot of fun! Normally I don’t like Japanese planes not so much… but this is really first class, especially the weathering! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFlyHalf Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Nice modelling but ... why are there no paint chips on the underside ? You would have thought that it would suffer on rough airstrips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksjager Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Nice work on this kit. As the others have said the weathering is excellent. I also much prefer the restrained chipping on the Japanese aircraft, unless your following a photo of a certain machine. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought that it would suffer on rough airstrips. Huh, to be honest, I never even considered chipping the underside, but you're right, it would be far more heavily weathered and beaten up from those rough airstrips in the Pacific. And darn it, you've just given me a perfect excuse to build another one! Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Erik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantherhawk27263 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Very well done! I am marveling at the weathering job on this kit. Maybe one day I will be able to get similar results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
