Mitsubishi A6M Zero

Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero, Petty Officer 1st Class Tadayoshi Koga, Battle for the Aleutian Islands

Today another very significant event occurred exactly 75 years ago. I built a model of this historical plane as part of the Midway Group Build. A link to the build log is listed below. This Japanese Zero, (serial number 4593) was [...]

Tamiya 1/48th Mitsubishi A6m2 "Zeke" Type 21 PTO WWII

One of my older builds from the mid 90's. I started building my current stash back in the early 90's. Living in the East Coast I started picking up more kits to bring back with me when I returned home to So California. Not only Tamiya [...]

1/48 Hasegawa Nakajima built A6M2-N “Rufe” Type 2 float plane

It's been a little while since I have posted any of my builds here. I've been really busy with moderating the Midway Group build, while trying to get a few more planes built before the 75th Anniversary of Midway in June. Here's a little [...]

It’s Twins!… well, sort of?

Finished, last night and this morning...these two have haunted my workbench for several months, and at last they are completed! Both are Tamiya's 1/72 A6M2b kit; one a Pearl Harbor raid Zuikaku machine with kit decals and the other a 1942 [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 A6M3 Zero 22

I added a CMK interior and some wire to the engine and landing gear but that's about it. I am not sure who made the pilot's body but the head is from Reheat. This is my interpretation of Hiroyoshi Nishizawa's aircraft. This is a [...]

Tamiya 32nd Zero.

I’ve been working on Tamiya’s 32nd scale Zero for a few months now. Generally I enjoyed the build but didn’t appreciate the added complication of the working features. I also struggled with getting the front of the fuselage to line [...]

Monogram 1/48 A6M5 Zero

The Monogram A6M5 Zero is a very simple model. It has no real cockpit detail, a one piece canopy, and you can see through it looking from below through the wheel wells, when the landing gear is down. But when I was 14 years old, I won my [...]
