MustangManiac Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hi everyone, I took the masks off of my Zero today to take a look at the final results of my painting. I've got to say I think she don't look too bad. Then I started giving the bottom of the wings some detail with a wash of dark brown and dark gray. So far I don't think it looks too bad for a newbie like me: That's all I have for now. Cheers, Brady mpk, Out2gtcha and andromeda673 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Very nice looking Zeke. Can only hope mine comes out half as good when the time comes. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 That's the ticket. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangManiac Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hello everyone, First off, thank you Mark. I realized today that I was working on panel line details when I hadn't even painted the insignia on the lower portion of the wings. So I painted those on the wings today. While I was painting the insignia on two of the sections of the canopy fell off while it was inverted, and I forgot they hit the floor. Then I stepped on both of them and broke them both, now I'm having to get replacements from Tamiya and I'll have to paint them over....bummer.

LSP_Kevin Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Ah, that's a bummer, Brady - and especially when you're so close to the finish line! I hope you can get it sorted quickly and simply. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Bummer man! Suck.............I know all about it. Did that same w/my B-25 canopy. Hope you get a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I really really like this build, just sorry about your mishap. Glad you went with folded wing tips, I think the Zero looks great like that, that is how I am doing my A6M3-22 Tamiya conversion. Reminds me, really should crack on with that again...

Out2gtcha Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Although I have to be the odd man out, as I think the folded wing tips really detract from the smooth lines of the Zeke. I pretty much think any folded wings take away from the look and/or change it enough that it makes any pretty aircraft into something completely different. It takes nothing away from a really awesome build however! Anthony in NZ, Drichc, Bill_S and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Brady, I'll check my spares when I get home from work, I may have a spare canopy if Tamiya haven't got you covered. Edited May 26, 2016 by ade rowlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangManiac Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hi guys, Yea it was a big bummer and made me say a few choice words. I got in touch with Tamiya and am waiting on them now. It really sucks that I have to do all that masking a second time though. Thanks for all your kind words though guys. In the mean time I'll be working on the panel line washes.

ade rowlands Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Can confirm I have the spare sliding canopy part if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangManiac Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 If you don't need it Ade, I'll put it to good use. Brady Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 This is really a great and unique looking build! Im lovin it! Can confirm I have the spare sliding canopy part if needed. THIS is one of the reasons I love LSP. If one shares a WIP on here and has an issue, its highly likely anther LSPer can come to the rescue.
