beautifully done.. 

A outstanding finish, may I recomend that you enter a photo to the digital readers gallery.

That's very nice work, and it is certainly a great kit. 

You may want to research the color of the back of the prop, it would really be hard to see through it especially with a following sun.

Stunning work...

Thx everyone!  The panel lines are simply a Flory "Dark Dirt" wash over Testors gloss.  It's a bit much considering this particular aircraft was at Pearl Harbor and at that time the Japanese took meticulous care of their aircraft...even polishing them...but the wash adds great detail...and because the wash is clay...you can wipe off as little or as much as you want w/water. No harsh chemicals. It's not as detailed as using pin washes...but at the "two foot" rule it rocks. 

I really like working the engines and the cockpit and if you want to see a progression of shots, I've posted them at my web site https://www.fdmodels.net  There's also a nice set of progression shots from my 1/32 Corsair engine as well. I have a long way to go to reach Wauchop's or Greene's level...or a lot of the folks here...but you have to start somewhere.  :)

Find the blog entry for this aircraft. It's a WIP and I'll be adding text to explain some of it. It's really not that hard to get this level of detail on 1/32d scale aircraft. Number one...the kit details are excellent and number 2...just take your time.

Here's a quick set of pics from the site:

Outstanding work on this "Zero". Your cockpit work puts this plane over the top.

Oh wow! Beautiful work!!! 

That is looking all kinds of spectacular!

Excellent work.

That's got great details. It looks amazing and is huge. Well done.
