Worth waiting for mark. A superb build , the weathering and chipping is spot on in my eyes , all too often we see japanese aircraft models that look like theyve been pulled out if the scrap yard ! Yes some of them did weather quite badly by the end of the war but a lot of people seem to think thats the only option when finishing . Its nice to see a restrained example , cheers tony

Great result Mark. She looks lived in, but not abused. Excellent weathering which really lifts the result into the believable category.

Totally missed you here Mark. Sorry about that. I too think the weathering is just 'Right' and not over done, like a lot of Japanese aircraft models are. You should really be proud of the finished result Sir!!!...

Prost

Opps, I missed this Mark. Now this does look really nice. Your model depicts a well used machine, which I like, loads.

Well done Mark, this has turned out to be a totally prize winning build mate, the paintwork and weathering are absolutely spot on buddy, it's one of, if not the best zero, I've seen in years.. I'd certainly be giving that one pride of place in my collection.
