1/48 Tamiya A6M3 Zero "Hamp" (Completed)

Don't be so hard on yourself Brandon.  That's a fine looking Hamp right there.  I'm my own worst enemy as well.  I've been becoming more and more anal retentive about the little things I used to let slide.  What's your opinion about those Tamiya decals?  I think I resorted to painting my markings on after the first time I used a thick set of decals.  lol  I'm still trying to improve that.  =]

I was just about to ask you how you were going to display it.  In a previous post, I saw you had the landing gears up, but now I see you have them down.  Did you have to cut them out to reposition them or am I missing something??

At any rate, how do you plan on displaying it now? =]

Everyone, I really appreciate all the kind words for the Zero. I really took it hard when the Flory didn't come off as hoped. It kinda crushed the build for me. Your words have inspired me to believe that perhaps it isn't as bad as I thought. Thank you all. 

Nice job. Fond memories of that kit do I have!

Excellent looking Hamp Brandon! Very nicely done Sir!

Brandon, I could only wish to make kits that good.  Don't be hard on yourself, that Hamp looks awesome.  Good job sir, and keep up the good work.  Remember its a hobby, so the primary point is to have fun and hopefully produce something awesome like you did this time.

Excellent build there!
