that looks really striking, Bsyamato!

is the cowling a different color, like black? That would make an awesome contrast to the trainer orange. 

 

Yes, cowling and antiglare in front of windshield will be black, already under paint process :)

The folding wingtips I think were to fit the plane on the elevator that took them from the hanger to the flight deck. I think I remember reading the Zero's wings were about a yard/metre too long to fit.

That makes sense. I never understood why they only folded the wingtips.

Kinda reminds me of the time I bought some stuff and couldn’t get it all in the car

 

Roll the window down and let it stick out.

John: Looks good! Nice to see you've got the middle fusilage and wing gap seams all taken care off, ought to be smooth sailing from here out. 

I don't know about the seat belts- as Edwin said they did seem to vary some in colour.

Got the fuselage, cockpit and tail assembled this weekend.

I think I need to touch up the seat belts to a little browner color

1 thing I’ve often wondered about the Zero’s folding wing tips. Just how much space is saved by that?

Looks really good! I've got to try trainer orange some day. It's a very eye-catching scheme. 

Edwin

Good heavens! It’s been ages since my last update/post!

Been really busy with work, and had to squeeze in bits of building time here and there

Anyway, my Zero’s almost done. Just some bits here and there...

And of course, I have to work on its base as well, since it’s going to be displayed in flight

 

Ready to use in some ww2 movie 

Heres decals on the training Claude after glossy

That looks good! Looks like a nice kit there, 1/72nd isn't really my thing but the new ones are at least as detailed as the 1/48th ones of years past. 

Got started  on the cockpit, prop and engine.

John

Like I'm going to argue with you John!?! 

Very cool! Is that the new Airfix kit I've been hearing all the good news about? 

Can I add a new one to my list?

John

Great prop blur, you had the shutter speed just right.

Edwin

Howdy, Gamera!

It’s sorcery, I tell you...

Nah, I just had a fan blowing in front of my Zero that got the props a spinning. 

Sorry for the trickery and deceit..........not!

 

LOL!!! Occam's razor- I should have thought about the simplest solution first!!! Bravo sir!!!

Hey Edwin that looks awesome! 

Did you put a motor in the cowling to spin the prop? I've seen some props painted to make them look like they're spinning but yours looks like it IS spinning.

AA: Looks good!!! 

Finally getting under way on the A6M5 Zero; initial cockpit construction:

Bsyamato: They look good to me!!! 

Still alive and here some updates:

Claude on first final orange layer (humbrol orange 132+ yellow 188)

Also the cayuse is almost done, few retouches needed and a new missing decals from a new kit (that i need to buy  )

 

 

 

At the next!

 

Steve: Works for me!!!

I'll put her down now.

BTW: Guess it's Japanese so I'll mention it- saw 'Godzilla: King of Monsters' yesterday. The human characters were kinda dull but the monster on monster action was friggin' awesome! Going to see it again in 3D next weekend I hope!

Gam,

Since no one else seemed to care what I'll build but you I tossed a coin between the ship and the 1/48 Zeek. 2 out of 3 tosses said the Zeek won.

Put er down sir.

Zeon Zum Deikun: Very cool!!! I've seen the maser cannon for sale but so far haven't picked one up. Really looking forward to seeing you build this!!!!!!

Since someone is doing Mechagodzilla, I'll do a different machine that was used to try and take down that giant radioactive lizard.
