Miloslav,

 

I respect your work a great deal...and I'm really impressed by your productivity.

 

Question: Having now riveted the Hasegawa Zero both by hand and, previously, using HGW positive rivet transfers, do you have a preference? From a viewer's perspective, both techniques yielded excellent results.

 

Regards,

Rich

I have enjoyed your finished builds Miloslav. Will you be showing your painting technique?

Both are good but HGW is easier to apply.

I will do the whole staining procedure on this model.

You are a Zero-building machine!  I am amazed at the sheer number of top-quality models that you are able to turn out.  Looking forward to following this one.

Nice progress...

Now that looks really great, it certainly breaks up that paint job nicely

Now I have sanded the rivets. Not evenly, but more in the places where there was abrasion.

 

[AlbertD]

Thanks formthe update Miloslav. It looks great and this is a very useful instruction. Your methods are very effective.

Really great job so far. I don't know if you have this photo so I thought I'd share it. We met with Takeo Tanimizu in Japan years ago and he autographed this photo for me. He pointed out there were patched bullet holes in the lower fuselage  but they are a little hard to see. Hope this helps.

        Cheers, Jerry

Thanks!

 

To Jerry Crandal: 

I have this photo in high resolution. As a former aircraft mechanic, I immediately noticed the patches and applied them to the model.

I'll take the next photo so you can see it. Thank you.
