Tamiya A6M2 Ready for Inspection!

[Crawford Wilson III]

After weeks of work, here is my finally completed Tamiya A6M2 Zero.  It was a fun build.  Not too difficult, mostly because of the high quality of the kit, however, attaching the wire they supplied for the antenna was the hardest part of build.  Of course, the painting and weathering portion was challenging.  Enjoy!

That's really nice, I must really get my digit out and build one of those myself, as a matter of interest which paints did you use ?

 

Cheers

I used Tamiya AS29 as the base coat.  All other paint was Tamiya.  Undercoat wsa AS12

I was going to say it's lovely, but as Brian beat me to it, I'll say it's very nice indeed, thanks for sharing.

Too nice, mate! Why is difficult to attach the antenna wire?
