Alex Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 By far my longest, most involved project to date. Many people followed along and offered advice and encouragement on my build thread, but I would like to especially call out and thank Ryan (A6M) whose expert advice on all things Zero was immensely helpful and made this a better model than I otherwise would have been able to build. I tried to up my RFI game a bit on this one by purchasing a cheap tablecloth to use as a background and actually digging out my old DSLR (versus just taking iPhone photos). Perhaps for the next model I will further improve on this by ironing the tablecloth... First some shots featuring the detailed innards of the forward fuselage, plus the folded wingtips. Pastor John, LSP_K2, Trak-Tor and 16 others 19
Alex Posted September 23, 2020 Author Posted September 23, 2020 Some more views of the "opened up" mode. D.B. Andrus, CATCplSlade, Basta and 17 others 20
Alex Posted September 23, 2020 Author Posted September 23, 2020 And then with the wingtips extended and cowling buttoned up, as spotted on deck prior to the raid on Pearl Harbor. (the extended version of the wingtips has too thin a coat of paint on them. I will fix this at some point...) And one of the undersides, for completeness CODY, LSP_K2, Trak-Tor and 24 others 27
