dr_gn Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Next one on the list after the Hellcat is its old adversary, the Mitsubishi Zero. This is Tamiya's recent A6M2b version in 1:72:For the connoisseur of injection moulded kits, this one is a masterpiece. The mouldings look perfect, with beautifullly fine surface detail:Tiny details are perfectly rendered, with impressively delicate sprue gates:The cowling is moulded in one-piece thus eliminating any difficult to finish joint lines:Two canopy options are included: open and closed. The sliding canopy for the open version is thin enough to make a vacform one unnecessary:Instructions are comprehensive, and include a sheet containing background information:This boxing includes decal options for eight different aircraft:Looking forward to this one... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_gn Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Nice! Any aftermarket planned for this? No, apart from maybe some belts. My pal got a resin engine and cockpit - I'll look at them again tomorrow (my son, my pal an I are building three 1:72 Zeros - Two Tamiya and one Matchbox!). Now toying with the - frankly daft - idea of riveting the whole airframe. ...it would at least break up the monochrome paint scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
