Warbird Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) Hi Gents, Here is my Tamiya Zero, a good kit except for the silly mechanisms to make the landing gears and doors movable - corrections are time consuming. You'll also need to work on the engine/engine mount for a perfect fit with the cowlings in place. I used the excellent tweak list available here. I used RB production seatbelts, master barrels, Barracuada tires (for Spitfire originally), all excellent. AK Real and Tamiya paints, painted markings and HGW wet transfers.

Nikola Topalov Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 What a beautiful model! Real eye candy! Well done! Thanks for sharing. One comment if I may - It might be just the lighting in the photos so I might be wrong, but the white stripes on the fuselage and tail (and in some photos the Hinomaru(s)) seem to be a bit too clean and fresh compared to the rest of the aircraft and somehow stand out a bit too much. It doesn't by any means diminish the beauty of your model and as I said, it might be just due to the photos. Again, great work. Best, Nikola Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
