Only late-war Zeroes for me from now on! (With the attendant weathering challenges!)

I'm giving that Zero a ten. One of the nicest finishes I've seen on that particular kit.

That sure is a looker. The canopy is very nicely done. Did you use a pre cut mask?

No masking; painted by hand (2 colours plus matt coat), and tidied up with a toothpick!
Woohoo! Still got it! (so far)

Thanks!

Very nice.

I've built a couple of these, and they go together really nicely.

I still have some leftover decals from one of the "Eternal Zero" aircraft I built earlier this year, so might have to do another!
