Very nice as usual.
Re: Daz's Zero warbird
A bit blurry, but the Zero is coming to the end of its build at last!

Looking good!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
"Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow"

Re: Daz's Zero warbird
Decals starting to go on:
It was only until I started putting the decals on that I realised I had a slight problem!
The Planes of Fame aircraft has the plain, all-red roundels on the wings and fuselage. Which the kit does not have, nor do I have any spares!
All is not lost, however, as I remembered seeing some photos of the Zero after it was initially restored in the 1970s:
It has the white-ringed roundels, plus a couple of natty-looking chevrons on the fuselage. Personally, I think this scheme is a bit more appealing than the current scheme, but that's just me!

Got to apply a coat of clear before I start trying to paint on the chevrons:

They're not perfect, but they'll do for now.
