Here is my Cosford Challenge entry finished.
A nice little kit.
All brush painted with Vallejo Model Air Acrylics.... and a bit of jiggery pokery with a pencil!














Next up I'll put the aircraft in a diorama.

Thanks for looking.

[Neil Merryweather]

Love it Ron!

[Wouter]

That's a fast finish! Good to see the Zeke finished!

[spanner570]

Thanks chaps.
With this Zero I've tried to model it in the desperation of the Japanese Military. The American Fleet is nearing Okinawa. Just one step from the Homeland.....

Anything and everything is being made ready to hurl at the invaders. No matter what the state of the aircraft.

The Divine Wind approaches.......

570, I really like the "War Torn" effect you have achieved. Makes for a real feeling of desperation on the part of the Japanese Empire. Cheers, Rick H.

Yes, and even more annoying, after I'd bought this 1/72 model for under a fiver, on the last lap of the hangers at Cosford I came across a 1/48 version for less money. I resisted the temptation!
