Hoss WA The complementary preshading approach worked really well. Very interesting. Nice build!

Thank you Hoss! Appreciated.
I will try to further improve and develop the method on the Widow. We'll see how it turns out.
Thanks Gamera! Glad you like the outcome.
I can't wait to start work on the Widow. Great aircraft with lots of room for weathering effects. :)
Oh wow the complementary colours in the pre-shading turned out fantastic! Love your results.
Looking forward to the P-61.

Yes, it's notorious. I have built it twice, I think, but was not very skilled at the time and didn't notice. I'd probably be appalled if I were to attempt one now. Like Revell's Arizona.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thank you Modelcrazy. Appreciated!
My next endeavour will be Revell's 1/48 P-61 "Midnight Mickey", and those widows were pretty beat up from what I've seen, so should be interesting.
Although, I hear that this kit is somewhat a b#@ch to build and has made a number of modelers to just give up. Lots of fitting issues apparently, especially with the clear parts. We'll see.
Nikolathose early carrier Zekes were kept pretty neat (at least from the reference photos), but as this was a test dummy doesn't really matter. :)
Yes but your technique looks good. It will come in handy for another subject. Maybe a Burma A-36.
Thank you John,
Glad you like her. I think I overdid the weathering, as those early carrier Zekes were kept pretty neat (at least from the reference photos), but as this was a test dummy doesn't really matter. :)
Great job! weathering looks fantastic!

Hi guys,
I have finally finished my first 1/48 build, Tamiya's A6M2 Zeke, OOB. The kit was ok, old and did not have much detail, but it was cheap and that suited me because I wanted to experiment on it. As some of you out there know I tested my complementary pre-shading technique for the first time on this little guy (dark yellow primer followed by purple pre-shading before IJN Ash Gray base coat), as well as first time salt technique for color variation (slightly overdone in my opinion).
As I said, the kit is poor in detail and there were some fitting issues (canopy, landing gear and the cowling) but nothing that put me off.
I also lost the small bit on the right aileron. Never to be seen again.
I am satisfied with the result. You be the judges.
Comments and criticism are much appreciated!
Thanks for looking guys!
