Tamiya's 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M5/5a Zero Type 52 kit... pretty much built out of the box, but added Eduard seat harness and a wired up the engine ignition and pipe lines in the cockpit area. Finish as Lt. Tetsuzo Iwamoto, Rabaul Fighter Group, Rabual, New Britain 1943-44.

Beatiful job Dave, you just keep nailing these Japanese aircraft builds really well.

Cheers, D

Hey look...it's another Zero! Cool.

I really like the weathering on this bird, and overall it's a very nicely done piece. It looks like I may need to add this Tamiya kit to the stash.

Cheers everyone! I have another two in the works that should be done in the next could of days...

old tool A6M2b and the new A6M3 that has just been released.

Now that is a lovely Zero. I have the same kit and your model inspires me to build it.

Cheers,

Great build Dave. The painting and weathering are of the highest order. Just what I aspire to.
