Here's my finished build of the Zero.It was a lovely kit to put together with no problems at all.The paint chipping is my first attempt for which i used Maskol masking fluid.Im going to try this again but will use salt next time.The propellor looks new so im saying this war weary aircraft has just had an overhauled prop fitted!.

Thanks for the nice coments.Tony,I fancy a 'Rufe' but the Hasegawa kit is £36.I cant justify buying another kit straight after christmas..Especially as i've got 20+ in the stash .

I am impressed and love the weathering. Looking forward to building a Jap fighter myself... Hope I get that 'look' as good as you have got yours.
