Hasegawa 1/48 A6M3 Zero

August 18, 2024 · in Aviation · · 11 · 181

This is an old kit from 1994 that I had sitting in my closet for the while. The decals were unusable so I built it without them. I painted on the meatballs and hand brushed the tail number with a stencil. I went for a field applied paint job (Mitsubishi green painted over the factory amber grey). This kit still builds up pretty good I think specially for being 30 years old and I had no fitment problems. As usual I did the hairspray chipping to show wear. I painted the kit with Mr color/Tamiya paints. Weathered with enamel/oils. Just basic iPhone pics on this one... Another for my collection lol...
