66Foxtrot Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 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
Hanson Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 It looks fantastic. Great job on the weathering! You should do more Japanese subjects! ;-)
adfogel Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 Very nice work! Thanks for sharing and I am glad to hear you are back to building. Later, Lee
PawelP Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 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.
ghodges Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 Nice one out from the starting gate James! GIL
GregWise Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 on a scale of zero - ten your zero is a ten
Dreamsof51 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 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. Chris
