AZKevin Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 Another recently completed model. This the tamiya 1/48 A6M3 Type 32 Zero (Hamp). It is pretty much straight from the box except for copper wire brake lines and steel tube for the guns. I used Tamiya acrylics and kit decals.
ghodges Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 Good lookin' build! I like the presentation markings too. What gray (or gray-brown, or sepia, or whatever they call it now) did you use for the overall scheme? Thanks for posting! GIL
AZKevin Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Posted December 7, 2010 Hi Gil, I built this model awhile back and I think I used Tamiya XF-76 for the fuselage and wings and XF-12 for the control surfaces (sorry for being vague - old age??). I painted the red outline on the wings (lines are too thick however) because they were not included in the kit decals, and the cowling in just Tamiya Flat black. Future was used overall for the gloss before decaling - still learning/practicing weathering before I weather this one.
AZKevin Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Posted December 7, 2010 Thanks David, I enjoyed the build. Lookin' good Kevin! David

ghodges Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 I don't know if I would weather it. Looks pretty good as is, and being a presentation aircraft, you can use the excuse that it was either brand new or very well maintained! Cheers! GIL
Dick Montgomery Posted December 8, 2010 Report Posted December 8, 2010 Weathering is a matter of personal taste and I tend to dirty up my stuff, be it aircraft, spacecraft, or just about anything. This is an excellent model as is but a little weathering might enhance its already spectacular appearance.
