Some progress. Been a busy couple weeks for me. Test fitting the cowling to the fuselage.


 Day 2 of sanding almost complete. Got a little bit done the last couple day. not a lot, but wanted to post a pict. Hasagawa wings close up terrible to the fuselage. Thanks to Joe for the help. He literally talked me thru it. closed back up. No seatbelts. I've been told many Japanese aircraft di not have them, plus I could not find an extra one in my PE stash.  Got the pit done. Alclad klear kote, then the wash. I love this wash. Joe got me interested in the Detailer early on and now it's all I use now for my cockpit washes. This kit doesn't need PE as I found out. Has decals for the instruments and they turned out very nice after I applied the mcro sol to them. I've got a busy week at work, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to the fuselage next, but I home it will be soon.  Ok here we go.Zero Type 52
