My cabinets continue to have a multitude of ghosts of the past, shouting for justice, so I do not decide to take in my hands the new super kits that have begun and build their own columns but to give -at last- the attention that the old warriors.
One of them is this one , an old school Hasegawa A6M5 Zero (same class with the recently finished Me 262) .
That means in general , right in dimensions and shape , with basic details (out and in) and many options : OOB straight , OOB with some additions , a full and totally reconstruction , or just forget it and go for the next project !
Having in my stash some goodies for this old beauty , the decision was fatal the third : a full reborn !
Plans down , new blades on cutters , clean working area and let the show begin !
First step is to sand everything out and re-scribe/re-riveting all from the beginning following the blue prints .
Then cutting some areas that will replace with resin or photoetched parts . And then add some scratch parts from styrene sheet - rods - beams etc .
A small difficulty is the fact that being old its plastic is quite fragile and needs a lot of attention in the process of re-riveting , but fortunately this kit is quite cooperative, one would say it wants to be made. After so many years of waiting, it could not be otherwise .
This is the news for now , I hope next days have a good update .
Please feel free to comment as you like .
Untill then , have good times !
