    @eb801, thanks a lot Eric, finish line is insight. Just some minor things like Spiros' (@fiveten) build.
    @wkubacki, thanks Woody, looking forward to your build as well.

    Good looking zero Spiros, @fiveten, it really turned out nice. I like the camo scheme, it is not what I expected John, @johnb.

    @luftwaffe-birdman, thanks a lot Walt. Wondering what scheme you were expecting, I was aiming for the following.

    Honestly John, @johnb, if I had gone back to the first page of the build blog I would have known, but I didn't and forgot your early post showing the scheme. I was thinking more the random oversprayed camo that I see in a lot of pictures. I definitly like the cross hatch much more, it offers more to the viewer. I really do need to pay more attention sometimes.

    These are both really nice. It's cool that @fiveten did a Mitsubishi-built airplane, and John did a Nakajima-built airplane. And they got the visual differences (at least as good as Hasegawa allows).

    The white zeros have their own beauty, which you Spiros showed with special grace.

    @luftwaffe-birdman, thanks Walt, the spotted camouflage was also an interesting and nice option, you do indeed see those more often. For some reason I felt attracted to the 'simple' line pattern. And because of all the great posts here on iModeler I also miss some of them.

    @tcinla, thanks a lot Tom.

    @faraomike, fully agree Michael, I definitely will do a white Zero next, maybe the Eduard.

    John, @johnb
    I agree with the compliments mentioned above. Your Zero looks great, and I have never seen one painted like this before.

    Spiros, @fiveten
    You have also done a magnificent job with your Saburo Sakai A6M. It looks just as nice !
