Great build and AMAZING paint job. Thanks for sharing

One of the best Zeroes I've seen!

Great build! Working on a Zero now and I appreciate the additional inspiration.

Excellent build!

When picking out small details on instrument panel, I dry brush it in whatever colour it needs. It’s a lot easier than trying to carefully trying to paint it on directly. Good build btw, very enjoyable to watch.

Thanks MrKov ! I completely hear that, drybrushing is something I don't use for some reason. ( I used to , in spades) I'll give It a go next time

Well done! I love the weathering, it’s not overloading the final look. Perfect Zero!

I learned something new today. Thanks for the build, your work is excellent!

Brilliant result, I really like what you achieved with the chipping medium, granted that it's really hard to get a good result with a metallic substrate. I also love the way you handled oils. It is an easy way to add visual interest to your model and many use it sloppily, but I think you showed them the respect that is due to bring out the best of them.

Thanks Agelos ! I think one of the things people expect with oils is to "get them " right away but like with all of these things it takes time and practice to understand the nuances and little tricks to get them performing as we want. But once you get the hang of them they are so versatile !

Awesome as always.

Просто потрясающая работа.

Absolutely stunning James. The depth and tonal variation in the paintwork is brilliant, the chipping is tastefully restrained, and the weathering is just enough. I have to ask - why didn’t you apply the canopy masks before glueing the canopies on? Intuitively it would seem to give you more control to be able to hold and move the canopies in your hand while applying the masks.

@lpjmodels

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Bruce! If I can get away with it I'll mask with the canopy attached, sometimes you may need to do a little filling , and it's good to see if there is any dust or crap on the canopy before gluing it down.

There was also such a painting as the aircraft color of this time of Zero Fighter. As a Japanese, this is a new discovery.

Another cracking job ,shame you don't get to see all that engine work .

Looks great, I've learned many very interesting things, I must check VMS and more MRP also. And I give You one advice - it is good to use cap for airbrush cup - when it is full, it's very easy to spill paint over model. With so precise painting, that will be total disaster. ;) All the best for You! ;)
