It is indeed the Z-M kit, together with the Z-M/Eduard etch set for the A-12 trainer version. An interesting, if challenging, kit. See here if interested.

Uncarina Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Tamiya's A6M2. This is from an ancient shelf of doom occupant, since resurrected, Mitsubishi-built: Currently I'm planning to build her as PO1c Tetsuzo Iwamoto's aircraft.

Uncarina Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Thank you all! It’s the Quinta set, still not sure if the throttle markings are too bright. Cheers, Tom Edited March 3, 2022 by Uncarina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) That is one awesome looking pit Tom. The Quinta set really adds a lot to the cockpit; I will have to try a set on a future build. I think the throttle markings look fine; once everything is closed up the brightness will help make it standout and not disappear. Are you going to depict one of the aircraft Iwomoto flew while assigned to the Zuikakau's Air Group Dec 41 - May 42, or while he was assigned to Rabaul's 253rd Air Group, Nov 43 - (circa) Jun 44?

Ernest Thank you Ernest! The set certainly does. The clarity of the details of the instruments for example. Other things like the wiring and seatbelts just save a lot of time. The set wasn’t a perfect match for the AK Real Colors Mitsubishi Green that I used, so I used a diluted application over the instrument panel and other surfaces. I was planning on building his aircraft when he flew from the Zuikaku at the Battle of Santa Cruz. Eduard makes a decal set (with great background information), and I’m planning to use this to make masks for the markings. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Following are a few shots of my latest "in progress" build, the 1/32 Trumpeter TBF-1c Avenger. I bought this kit second hand and it came with a Black Box A/M cockpit. I used some of those items along with some of the kit parts. To be honest, though the Black Box stuff looks very nice (at least the parts that did not have excessive resin "blobs" on them) given the fiddily nature of getting everything placed correctly and fit, I think the kit parts would have been just as nice. I have the IP provisionally tacked into place as I am still working through getting the Sun glare shield that goes in front of it fit - a job that has made me walk away a couple of times thus far! At any rate, below are some shots of the very nearly completed cockpit. Ernest Doh!! I need to touch up a spot of yellow over paint on the seat pan! Missed that one while inspecting my work! I tried to give the leather a beat up appearance, and at normal viewing distance the rather abrupt transitions look the part.
