This is the newer Tamiya kit  that goes together very nicely. I made the carrier deck out of stir sticks.

Cheers.....Jerry

Oh my goodness, that is absolutely amazing! Surprise  That really looks like the real thing.  How long did it take and is that 1/48?

Absolutely gorgeous!  Is that the 1/48 scale, or the newer 1/32 scale?

Hey wow! Beautiful!

I'm not crazy about the really heavy paint peeling some people do on Japanese subjects. Yours looks friggin' perfect, there but lovely and subtle.

Great job on the pilot and base as well.

Very nice Zeke. I am starting the early 80s A6M5c and these pics will bring alot of inspiration in my build. I would love to see a shot of the rib detail on the split flaps if possible.

The detail on the flaps is adequate but minimal. You may want to consider photo-etch to improve this area.

Beautiful Zeke! I like how you understated the weathering. Over-zealous chipping seems to be in vogue these days. My only complaint is that I need more pictures!

I agree totally with regards to excessive chipping. I looked at literally hundreds of Zero photos, and very few had anywhere near the paint chipping seen on many models.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Jerry
