discussion Tim’s 1/48 Eduard A6M2 Type 11 Zero

[Tim Marlow]

Just caught up with your build Tim. And I'll repeat what everyone has said, that cockpit is just bang on. Superb.

Cheers Doug. Everything there was in the kit. AllI had to do was stick it together and paint it.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Your going great guns with this one Tim :smiling4:

Must say your a brave man adding the pitot tube at this stage. I can guarantee I’d be re gluing it at least half a dozen times :confounded:

Geoff.

Cheers Geoff. It is well fitted, and not much masking is required, so it should survive the painting. If it doesn’t, I’ll replace it with brass tubing….

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nice work Tim, look forward to seeing the top coat go on.

Cheers Mick….me too

Late to the party on this Tim........looking good so far. :thumb2:

Thanks Rick. Don’t worry about the lateness, I’m not taking notes LOL….

 

[Tim Marlow]

Quick update….preshading done….

Hoping it will shown nicely under the lightish top colour Lee……

 

[Tim Marlow]

Well, that looks to have gone nicely…..

Quite pleased with that. Fading is there, but not overwhelming. Gloss is now on and drying, so stickers next……interesting to do a single colour aircraft. It’s not something commonly used by other WW2 powers, unless a night or winter scheme.

A very nice finish Tim, that preshade pops perfectly, and the tonal shading on the wings is superb, top marks mate

That preshade has gone well. It shows beautifully under the top coat. A nice light touch with the airbrush.

Was sure that I commented on this last night!!:flushed:
As the guys have said,that looks excellent Tim, very realistic.... I really like that colour, quite unusual :thumb2:,
Going to be a winner this one :hugging-face:.
