Battle of Midway Aircraft Group Build

Hmmm not much activity in here lately, seein as how the Battle Of Germany GB is gettin all the posts i've stuck pics up of my finished Zero there, but to make it official here they are.................

Thanks boys You can't really see much from the pics so here is a better one.......

Paint & Weathering To be honest this is probably my cleanest build but i did give it my usual preshade with RLM  66 followed by a couple of coats of Gunze IJN grey lightened about 15% with white, the rear fues and tail are the same colour with an extra 5% of white, i did a fair amount of research into the correct colour of the zero's of the period and got so confused that i just went with what i liked...The rest of the weathering is just pastels of varying shade of grey and black.......

IMHO the Has Zero is a fantastic kit and i recommend it over the Tamiya anyday

OH Yeah the spinner is Alclad 11 Duralinium painted useing Toms method.....Thanks Tom it worked like a charm

Hey guys! Take me off the "MIA" list or maybe change it to "KIA"! Sorry fellows, I sort of fell off the model band wagon & can't seem to get back on for now. It was last year right around tax time & I reckon it was Uncle Sam's big bite that took it out of me.

Ya'll are doing a great job, seeing some fine work! Perhaps I'll get back into it down the road but for now I'm just an "observer" aircraft. Take care of yourselves & keep up the good work!
