FineMolds 1/72 A6m5b model 52 ZEKE (Nakajima built)
My last completed build for 2018. FineMold's example of the late war Zeke. I'll have to get around to building one of Tamiya's 1:72 A6Ms to do a fair assessment of FineMold's offering. Fit was very good, detail very fine, but lacking in [...]

Coral Sea, Part One: Mitsubishi A5M4, Type 96, Carrier Fighter...
