Nice to see a Japanese aircraft not chipped and weathered to hell and back!

I'm sure there must have been some in WW2 as tidy as yours Scott.....At least to start with anyway.

Always nice to have a bit of history about it's pilot too.

Very nice job.

Cheers,

Cripes,zeros are like buses,and this is the second to come along.

Very nice Scott,it looks very convincing. As you know I know nothing about Japanese aircraft or airmen and I'm a sucker for a good backstory,so not only a beautiful model but a great story too!

Cheers

Love the camo on this one, Scott. Good to see something other than the "green" or "off-white" colours.

A nice bit of history, brought to life Scott. I always like to hear the story behind a build.

Great Zero, and superb paint job.

Top work, and 5 stars.

Tony.

A very nice build Scott and has been said an interesting story. I especially like the camo some good variations in shading and a really crisp canopy, well done.
