Here's my vintage 1964 LS A6M2 Zero kit completed.The national insignia came from Blue Rider and the tail codes from Techmod.Unfortunately the Techmod decals silvered a bit despite my best efforts. Paints used were a mix of Tamiya & Testors.

Nice choice of markings. Very well made. Doesnt look like a vintage kit. Are those recessed panel lines?

So see this is why I love this Forum. Two Zeroes lost in bad weather landed in Luchow in November 1941 and were captured. Repainted and this one marked P-5016.
I just learned all of this after looking at your post.
Really well done, sir.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Yeah, haven't seen a whole lot of models of Zeros captured by the Chinese. Nice work and cool choice of something a little different.

Very nicely done. I've never known that this was the captured Chinese Zero. Now the insignia makes sense. Great work!

Gentlemen,
Thank you for the kind comments.Allan: Despite the age of the kit it does indeed have engtaved panel lines.LS made some nice kits in their day but the company folded.I believe their tooling went to Arii (as well as the Otaki toolings when they too went out of business.)

NIce work on that captured aircraft. Certainly doesn't show its age. Well done.

BK,
Thank you for the kind comment. I think the old LS were an early sign of what Japanese model companies would be doing much later quality-wise. Now some of the best kits in the world come from Japan.
