That's some impressive work on this Zero, Rafi. @blackmopane
Thank you John.
I'm especially impressed by your paint work. The whole thing is beautiful.

This is very well done Rafi (@blackmopane). The little details like avoiding the fuel caps really sets this apart.
Thank you Carl.
Looks really good, Rafi. You certainly met the challenge
Thank you Gary.
Incredible paintwork, Rafi.
Thank you George!
I agree with you Rafi, these Rabaul Zero are the most interesting of them all thanks to their improvised field applied camouflages.
Beautiful work here for sure. Those 3 tiny irregular green rings on the prop cap are hand made?
Thank you Pedro.
The rings are airbrushed and then, modified with a brush.
Excellent! The SW Pacific Theater is one of my favorite, especially for the way things were handled in the field, and how the environment so impacted the aircraft. This shows that very nicely! Well done.
Thank you Greg!
Excellent Zero. Faded green looks very realistic.
Thank you Jarmo.
Rafi, you never fail to impress! Great paint work and weathering as usual. I really like the different amounts of wear one can depict on Japanese WW2 airplanes, there's a lot of room for playing around. Nice work.
Thank you Clint!
