So many times I was tempted to see if this could fly off a 31st floor balcony, but it turned out fine:

On mobile so the pics are small; for a moment there I thought "oh, that seam! No wonder he's frustrated!" but then I realized it was the antenna wire

It's great, man! Always preferred the white over the green for zeroes. I can almost hear "Sakura" playing in the background.

Had a good laugh with your quote Troy, we've all been there too!
I learned first hand with a F4 Phantom build last summer that building aircraft is no easy task!!!

I do like the job you've done on the Zero, certainly looks the part and I can almost hear TORA! TORA! TORA! being called over the radio

Troy, i think that zero turned out better than you give yourself credit for. And the fact you battled the kit with all the niggles gives you a plane that you can claim victory over and bragging rights. Good stuff man

As for model i think it looks awesome, and as someone has said already thats a great colour scheme and yourve nailed it.

Brought back from the brink of oblivion, it fought you all the way but you won. Brilliant job mate.

Thanks guys - ordered another zero and a masking kit so I can do this again - hopefully with better results.

Great job done on the Zero.

It looks awesome

Im tempted to build one too in 1/48. Built one in 1/72 a while ago and I love this aircraft.

Cheers

Well whatever was wrong with it certainly doesn't show. Super build and nice to see in those colours.
