i think this is my first finished model post here......i hope it's liked

this is the old tool hasegawa A6M5c with the metal cowl and undercarriage .....it's an old kit but still builds up well...the markings are for a plane flown by Saburo Sakai in 1945.

the kit is out of box other that a set of stunning Eduard wheels...and it's my first serious attempt at weathering....pretty happy with the results.

I've got fond memories of the old Hasegawa kit, though mine did not have the metal parts it was a nice build and you have done it justice.

Me too. Both it and the old Revell kit gave me some great memories. This one above looks pretty cool too.

I got to meet Saburo Sakai once back in the late 80s, so I've always wanted to build his plane. He and Pappy Boyington were at an airshow I attended. Can't say I remember much about it, except that he was very gracious and almost bald by then.
