Trying to get back into things, after a 3-month hiatus due to severe personal reasons. This is the kit Tamiya released last year. I don't generally do Japanese subjects, but was curious about this "buzz" on this kit. It's all true, and well-deserved. The most sublime model aeroplane kit I've ever glued together (!) It's OOB with Tamiya Acrylics/Alclad II Undercoating/Lifecolor Oatake Blue.

 

Enjoy,

JK

Very good work !

Takeo Tanimizu was the pilot ?

It's interesting Japanese like this ace's plane.

Years ago in scale 1/72 Academy added the same pilot's decals.

Well done. The Zero was certainly a beautifully designed airplane. I love the offensive nature of the design. Truly a fighter pilots airplane till someone pulls up on your six with some 50 cal presents. I went through a phase a while back during which I built three Zeros so I kind of got that urge out of me. Never get tired of seeing a well done example though. Thanks for posting.
