A straight forward OOB build which was brush painted and given slight weathering. It was built for Andy's WWII Japanese Aircraft GB and you can read about the build here.

Wonderful result Dave. I like the clean look on this, it makes a nice change from peeling paint and grime.

Thanks Joe. :thumb2:

I thought I would be different and have a Zero without peeling paint. After all, they all start off like that!

A tip top finish Dave. Well done on avoiding the weathering demons, something which I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to do. Nice job.
