LSP_Kevin Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Nice one mate. It's still a neat little kit after all these years (over 40 I reckon!), and quite accurate in many areas (though not so much in others). You'll have this one across the finish line in no time!

Azgaron Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks Peter, Rigor and Kev! Still working on it, and I sure hope I'll get it done in time! Cheers, Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 A bit behind schedule, but I still hope I'll make it! Underside painted! Then I've masked the underside, added the canopy parts, and prepared with some vaseline! I just wonder how long time the color needs to dry enough to be overpainted? I really can't wait until tomorrow! Cheers: Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 It's 24:00 local time, and I like to call it done if I may! There's a few touch ups needed, and I just put most of the remaining details on so I don't dare putting it on its gear just yet! I can take better pics tomorrow!

LSP_Kevin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Great job Håkan! When I see what you've been able to achieve building this one OOB, it makes me slightly regret all the work I'm doing to mine... Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJ Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That looks fantastic! You did all that chipping with Vaseline? Might have to try that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks Kev, and Dave! Yes, I've found the vaseline very useful for this kind of chipping, although it's the first time I done it to any larger extent! I also sanded the rivets slightly to enhance the look a bit! This is actually my first completed plane in 32nd scale, and also my first finished GB here! Maybe I needed the time pressure!

But this GB runs until August 31st. You've got a whole month to deal with the fiddly bits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Doh! Well, what a mistake! I was so sure it ended now, don't know why though?! And I've driven my family crazy becourse of this! Then I'll fix the fiddly bits and take some decent shoots when finished! If I have had another Japanese kit, I could have built that too!

Although I was wondering where the sudden burst of frenzied progress had come from.. I know the pressure of a deadline gets my juices flowing, too. Maybe if I announced the end of all GBs when there is still a month to go would mean more completed entries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yes, maybe! I'm happy it's done, and though there are a few more things to fix, I'm pretty proud! Cheers, Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 A very nice build.Good paintwork. Just one small word of critique if I may. IMO the meatball on the wings should be placed more towards the tips. I've never seen them half-way the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azgaron Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks Erwin and Rigor! You're right, I got them a little too close to the middle of the wing! I guess the stress had me doing errors I shouldn't have! Cheers, Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruzlkampf Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 WHOOOHOOO !!!! Azgaron pulls it off in the (uhhhh self-imposed ) crunch!!! Hurray! Looks COOooool, man. I'm liking that weathering style. Whoa yeah, nothing like a little 'modeling madness'. heh heh! Looks great buddy, what color did you use for the upper green? I like it. Congratulations on getting the Zero built before the deadline, bet it feels good....reeeaaal good, huh! I've never built this kit (or ANY Zero actually) before, and it sure does look the part to me. Excellent build dude, thanks for sharing all the pics! What's next?! Bwhahahah! Later my Friend, Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
