Awesome job Dave, as always !!

Quick question, what paint did you use for the wheel wells (and possibly the interior) ?

Cheers, D

As a fan of japanese WW II aircraft I must say, you did a great job on this Zero, which is for me the most elegant japanese aircraft of that era. Last year I have built Tetsu's 53-104 out of the Hasegawa kit, which came as the "Super Ace" Limited Edition. Also in 1:48
Well done, Dave!

Happy modelling!

great job! I see you used an overall wash? what brand ? I have been trying to screw up the courage to do my 1st wash and probably will go with with MIG products.
