oz rb fan Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 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. 48189145_891007654427941_8537467885692387328_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 48237114_891007591094614_2427286469388271616_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 47680111_891007794427927_1391688894189142016_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 47681468_891007687761271_8704623490252144640_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 47580615_891007624427944_3525011382179201024_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 47578347_891007847761255_4762451636943585280_o by paul sabin, on Flickr and with an older 21st century early A6M5 that i built 48408314_891007887761251_2994181298731352064_o by paul sabin, on Flickr it's been an enjoyable learning experience...i'll be playing with weathering in the future LSP_K2, Kagemusha, LSP_Kevin and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 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. Cheers Dennis LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggTim Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) 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.
