Tamiya A6M5a Zero 1/48
Hi there!
Just finished this nice Tamiya kit. Everything OOB and the only real flaw was one of the decals sheet, the smaller one, most stencils. Without exception, all of them cracked as soon as I tried to move them. I used warm water, cold water, decal solution, you name it, with no success. In some cases I was able to join the pieces and have them in place.
But, as I said, a very nice kit. Hope you’ll like it.
Cheers!
George

Very nice George. Just the right amount of weathering. One in the stash to be built as a British version

Like it, esp. the weathering (not to much)

Thank you! I always try to stay in mid terms when it comes to weathering.

Looks nice! You can always use microscale liquid decal film over old decals to help them hold together better. one or two coats, and then trim close.

Thank you! You’re right, I should have tried this too.

George, that is a splendid work on the ZERO, and the weathering is not overdone. Nice work on the chipping .
