jandrego Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 After some short run kits I needed a kit that would fit better. So a Tamiya 1/32 kits was the natural choice for me, it's my first but certainly not the last The cockpit is almost done, it has stretched my painting skills and yes, next time I will use a different painting method for some small parts. Here some pictures, Jan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 26, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hi Jan, Great to see you picking up this kit and what a start! I'm sure I'll see it in the flesh one day at a show in Belgium (or the Netherlands). Really liking it so far. Best regards, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Very subtle. Good to see the progress you made. Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandrego Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Marking sprayed on. The nose is sprayed in aluminium first, next AK Worn Effects and then black with a drop of blue. Some parts have got a coat of clear varnish. To make it ready for some small decals. And then finishing of with a bit of weathering , these early Zero's are not that weathered as the late ones.

jandrego Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Decided to do some extra weathering.Not finished yet. When that is done I need to add all to little parts to finish the Zero. Jan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahunaminor Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Nice work on the colours...the early shots had me a bit confused but under a different light, it comes up very nicely. Regards, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandrego Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 A few steps back to correct a stupid mistake I made One of the Hinomaro's on the upper wings was not in lineSo it had to be removed , basic paint applied again and redo the Hinomaro.And redo the weathering, al done with Tamiya weathering tools.Jan The wing side that was fine The corrected wing side The result of the correction 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
