Yes that is one of my faults, I always mean to really wrap up a build but on a lot of occasions I leave the small finishing details out or rush them.

Alex Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) So I think this is a wrap for this model. I'll post the usual iPhone photo on messy bench for the record here, but I am going to try to do a better RFI. I ordered a cheap gray tablecloth from Amazon to use as a visually neutral backdrop, and I dug out and charged up my Cannon DSLR (which I don't think I've touched in 3 years). I'm going to try and make some better looking photos to document the completed model. Next up will be a Ki-86a IJAAF trainer (a license-built Bucker Bu131) over in the Training Day group build forum! I am excited to get started on that. Edited September 20, 2020 by Alex Shiba, Whitey, John1 and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A6M Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hello Alex, Great looking model - well done. But, and there's always a but, the prop spinner should have the de-icing holes between each of the prop blades drilled out. You mentioned the prop is removable so it still could be lone with not too much trouble. I'm glad I could provide a few suggestions while you did all the work.

Ryan Thanks Ryan, I can certainly do that. And thank you very much for all of your research and suggestions along the way. Mine’s just the latest Zero here that has benefited from your assistance!
