Mitsubishi A6M3 ZERO-SEN Type 22 and 32 (zeke)
This is another vintage model I built; I found the pair at model expo ‘09’ in a swap sell for $5 in a plastic bag. There were notes written on the instructions and some parts cut off the sprew and cleaned. It was an out of the box build but some small parts were missing and were easily built out of styrene. At the time I also bought someone’s bits box and found two different Japanese 1:72 ww2 pilots sitting down which were added to the cock pit. I researched the colors and painted them as historically correct as possible. I also tried the salt weathering on one and liquid mask on the other. The decals were really poor and fell apart in water so I also bought nice after market decals off Hobby Link Japan. I’m very happy with the finished results…
I saved this poor kit from ending up in someones bits box...
