Anyway, I'm happy to present my first ever completed military scale model, a Hasegawa 1/72 A6M3 Model 32 "Hamp." This one is based on a captured Zero with tail code Q-102 in Buna Airfield, Papua New Guinea which is quite a popular subject when it comes to the Hamp.
This came alongside a Model 22 as part of Hasegawa's 1/72 A6M3 Model 22/32 "Rabaul Combo" set.
Everything has been mostly airbrushed, and the smaller details were hand-painted. I used Mr. Surfacer 1200 for my primer and Tamiya acrylics for the colors. I did not bother doing a panel line wash since the lines seemed just subtle to me as is. And I didn't do any weathering as well, but I will sure do on my next build.
Really happy with how this turned out even though I can easily spot areas where I could have done better. These flaws would hopefully be improved in my next model. It's my first work so there is definitely a lot of room to improve on.
