Langy's, Academy 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero.
So, here we are again, and a tiny update, spent most of the morning doing touch ups on detail parts... Oh and she did fall in to a pot of Flory Dark Wash... after a bit of clean up she came out looking like this... (not bad for saying there's at least four coats of paint and 'varnish' on...- langy71

Langy's, Academy 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero.
What began as a quick 'I'll put the common marking decals on' quickly became a longer full decal session, I've gotta say I'm impressed with the Academy decals on this kit, they're perfectly registered, micro thin and lay down perfectly.. with only a bare waft of micro set.... no need for...- langy71

Well after sitting on this for a couple of days the colour just didn't look right... (it was way to 'caramelly'...if that's even a real word).....so back into the shed she went, a bit of a play with some colours and I've ended up with this, it's a bit lighter but in the flesh it has a more grey...- langy71

Had a blast with a touch of colour today, good ole Tamiya XF-76, Tamiya XF-60 and a few drops of white for good measure...(65/30/5) thinned to a naughty 60/40 mix, Then added some highlights and sun bleaching with a touch more white added to a 80/20 mix of the same colour, thinned to...- langy71

A bit more work on the cockpit, some decal work, a few touch ups with paint..(red, yellow and silver bits added to break up the overall 'flat' green colour) and knocked up some seat belts...they're not accurate per se but they look close enough.....I'm now calling this bit done... on to the rest...- langy71

Is that as well as the monthy cheque ? And .......
