oppenheimer Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone, after a few months away from the bench i decided try with this one to see if my modelling MOJO is back, this is a 1/32 Tamiya A6M2 ZERO it will make a good companion to my other 2 Tamiya birds, so far just the cockpit is done, the oxigen bottles will be without any lines cause they wont be visible at all when the fuselage is close. This will be a OOB build Edited June 26, 2016 by oppenheimer Lud13, Uncarina, tomv87 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Any progress Jorge? Really liking the start you have made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 so far not much of a progress, just glue and sandpaper, fuselage and wing are in place, just painted the gear wells and testing on the elevator to see how can i get a fabric covered elevator looks, i think they are ok so they will stay with that finish, also added Eduard flaps set the wheel wells are not that impressive, this airplane is so simple that looks like a toy, just a single hydraulic line in it coogrfan, cib2265, kvlazer22 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Lovely, neat work Jorge. I look forward to following this one after seeing your previous efforts. I hope the mojo has returned for you! Are those elevators painted and finished already? It could be the photo if they're not, but if they are, they look really good Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Craig, that was a first test on the elevators, now they look less dirty, i am approaching to a almost new Zero, not to much worn on it Jorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 the base color lighted with white is on, now a have to crack my head on how to weather this tone of paint without over doing it, this is going to be difficult , never painted this color on an aircraft before, also painted some spot in silver for a small chipping, navy Zeros were not that chipped as army Zeros reworked the fabric elevators so they wont look that worn mywifehatesmodels and tomv87 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Nice. I'll send a link to a pal that just loves the Zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Looking really good Jorge! The elevators look spot on. Was that done with pastels or airbrushed? Either way, I like the effect! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 this is how the top side of the wing look now, some light weathering on the paint, i dont want to go over the extreme weathering, so i think it will stay like this, some minnor tweaking and keep moving on F`s are my favs, cib2265, Anthony in NZ and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Wow Jorge! That is beautiful and delightfully subtle! I think the effect is excellent. I can imagine that takes quite some time to build up and you must have to be quite careful not to overdo it. Can't wait to see more Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
