1/72 Tamiya Mitsubishi Zero

Post by rodrant »

Hi

I finished this Tamiya 1/72 Zero , it is now my third kit , and yes , still a LOT to learn , but here it is ,the base was made by me using some small balsa base , it was painted to simuate a carrier deck , if it is historical acurate ,think it isn't ... :-)

Hi Orbyn ,

this kit in my opinion , and i'm new on the modelling , is just superlative ! :-) . I call it the 'Anti-Stress Kit' , everything fits just fine , no gaps , the cockpit fits nicely , and for a 1/72 scale kit it has such a detailed cockpit !

I have here a photo of the cockpit just to you to see the detail, it is a 1/72 scale :

you may build it OOB it is a great adition to anybody collection/exibition . It is a Tamiya Kit so more expensive than other brands , and I'm a little suspicious as i'm a very Big Tamiya fan , but I really think if you can afoard it go for it , it a very neat model kit .

Thank you for watching it .

Great! I've only heard good things about this kit, and you've done good things with it too :th:. Whether or not the deck is accurate, it still looks brilliant as a base. Excellent all round there!

Very well done you even have the oil stained deck, god job. I must agree that being rather new to the hobby that the Tamiya kits are as you put it anti stress and if I had known that Tamiya kits would have been all I built for the first few kits.

May I ask what colour this is? I have the new airfix moulding and it only comes with the paint scheme for the green on top, when i would much rather this paint scheme!

Hi Benge , the color that I used was Tamiya AS29 Gray Green (IJN) spray , but I believe that XF76 acrylic also from Tamiya would be the same .
