    Thanks Richard, I’m really surprised this the first Zero for the forum. No pressure then…

        There have been others including at least one of my two Tammy 1/32s but not for quite a while. I am pretty sure that Peterairfix had an excellent Trumpy Zero build more recently.

        Enjoying yours….

          Yes, Peterairfix had a build while I was in the midst of tackling my Spy Ship so I missed it. Just checked and it was being built halfway and then went straight to completed builds. Lovely build. But I also commented on Mike's Zero which was also a 1/32 in the completed section which I seldom venture to and had no reply. Also nicely built. One half sbs and the others completed no wonder it skipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder Barry.

          Cheers,
          Richard

            A spot of leave and no I am back in the game! Some more progress; decided to go with a nice well worn look on the green topside and show some primer and aluminium through. Used AKs extreme metal white aluminium so will need to wait for it all to harden overnight now. Click image for larger version

              Coming on well. I’m interested in the final finish…the sub top coat work looks great.

                          That paintjob does indeed look good.

                            Got the topside green down. Worked well with the primer/alu chipping. I like it!Click image for larger version

                              Russell, you're ticking every box going for me. I love a well used aircraft.
