Trumpeter 1/24 scale Mitshibusi A6M2 mod 21 Zero
This kit have been standing on the shelf for quite awhile. This weekend I decided to have a quick and easy build.
The kit went together very nicely with very few fit problems. The cockpit is well detailed. I only added seat belts from lead foil and scratch etched buckles. I added wiring on the interior as well as on the engine.
The paint I mixed myself from a mixture of Humbrol enamels and Tamiya acrylics until I was happy with the shade. I primed the aircraft with Humbrol metalizer aluminium before pre shading with black green and over spraying the light green. I lightly weathered using oils as well as silver pencil and paint for the chipping.
I am quite happy with the outcome and another biggie added to my collection.
Enjoy.
Fine looking effort, Tappie. I like it a lot!
Thank you Bryan.
Tappie, if there was a "different" backdrop to several of the photos, I'd have thought it was the real thing! Hard to do, given the size of the model, as any misstep is real noticable. Not a problem, here! Your "weekend" was really productive!
Bernard, thank you. I am contemplating building a photo booth for my models. Also on my "project" list.
Well well well, the Tappie is back. Very nice build Buddy, as usual. great work.
Thank you buddy. you better get back home, you are falling behind.
