Just finished my fifth build. I finally achieved one of my early modeling goals which is to make a model of a Pearl Harbor raid participant. I know it's an easy color scheme that I could have done for my first build, but I really wanted to have a few models under my belt before I did a PH Zero.
It's still my same clean build since PH Zeros are fairly new, plus I love how the panel lines on the 1/72 Tamiya Zero are visible enough even without any sort of wash. I aim to build more PH Zeros in this style and display them all together.
For the last two photos, I used a Hobby Master 1/72 IJN carrier deck base (it's pre-made).
