mywifehatesmodels Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I'll second what Dave said about books/plans. However, I'm a cheapskate when it comes to research material, unless it's a much bigger project, or something that I'm just really into and want to get it right (in my mind, at least!). If I don't have a book or plan at hand, I just study as many photos as I can and try to fill in the blanks where I can. Generally, every rib in the airframe is going to have the skin riveted to it. I usually have pretty good luck searching the web to find what I need for free, though.

hworth18 Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been working on the Zero here and there and I think I'm at the "over the hump" point. I'm still not totally satisifed with the Green top coat. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

hworth18 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 I'm calling this one done. The new Hasegawa tooled A6m5 really is a treat to build. There are no overly fiddly bits and everything went together very Tamiya-esq. I will definitely build another one in the future, probably the new A6m5c. coogrfan, MikeMaben, denders and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
