Hi all
Just finished this little gem from Tamiya.
It was the time build the Tamiya Zero and I was really impressed.
The overall fitting and crispy details makes hard to believe it's a 1/72nd scale kit.
Kit built OOTB including the [...]
Tamiya 1/72 excellent kit of this unique airplane. I tried to represent a prototype that was over painted after the Japanese lost they air superiority and the orange was too much of a target, if you know what I mean. The tail code is [...]

Spitfire MK Vb F/Sgt. K. Basset, RAAF 1941 (Tamiya 1941)
