Mitsubishi Zero Figther

[Guest]

Yep!


This is my new project...a 1/32 Zero Figther.


I'm not a plane builder, so I think the Japanese aircraft are perfect for me...., because they usually show a heavy weathered and chipped fuselages! I don't know how to paint a clean model....ops:


This is a really old kit, almost it seems. O_o


Anyway the general detail looks fine to me!


The cockpit is simple, but my idea is build it out of box.


Ok! Let's do it!!


I have the lacquer ready to use

Funnily enough I am doing a 1/48 version in a crashed state.

Well, I have been started the kit!


No photos by the moment because don't be needed....I just only started to sand the pieces on the cockpit.


Uff....as I said, is a really old kit! The plastic has a very delicate tact (seems dry), there is a broken crystal piece on the canopy....and the decal sheet seems to be RIP....


Anyway will be a funny kit!!! I'm sure


On the instructions all the colours has only the name... any number reference or brands is drscrived O_o


Tomorrow I will start to prime the cabin!!!

[Guest]

Very nice Polux - might I even say ... genius?

Lovely cockpit work Polux. I'd say your kit dates from the mid to late 1970s.

[Guest]

Hi all again!!


The cockpit is finished.

I am surprised! The kit is really old and the plastic seems to be “dried”....but all the general fuselage fits without any problem and perfectly. I suppose it was a great kit “before”.....or on his time
