That's turned out very well indeed Tony. Sorry I couldn't follow the build

I think I have this kit coming for Father's Day. I hope mine turns out half as well.

Another one Tony??? I don't know why I always seem to miss these. I thought you were building some 'Freekin' kit from Smer in tiny scale. Being 1/48, you have really excelled with the overall finish, weathering and fine details on the Zero!!! Had a quick ketchup and the only thing I can see, is you need to have a talk with Suzuki about cleaning his shoes off before he gets into the cockpit. Other than that, Aces high and a super build Sir!!!

Prost
