[Capt. Vick]

What scale is this going to be in again?

Oh, and one more thing. Your previously completed models, they are going to some kind of museum there in Greece no?

1/48 as all of my previous work..Museum? No, I don't think that can happen..My wife is definitely with you however!.. Now, whether it's a museum, a shed or anywhere outside the apartment she doesn't really care!..

I know that feeling! "Either the models go, or I do!" Well, I've been by myself for 15 years now !

Lucky you!
To be honest, my second wife is much more understanding..Her brother had been a modeller for many years so for the last 14 yrs we've been together we're just fine..However, my ex-wife had put that dilemma on me...Well....,SHE thought it was a dilemma..In fact it was quite an easy decision to take...8)

Konbanwa from Athens!
I went on with Hirano Takashi's Zero..I improved the wheel covers using aluminum sheet..In the 3d wip the Zero-sen will be shown finished..Two more questions please: Had the Mitsubishi A6M3 32 and 22 no Aotake,either? Also in my model what color were the inner canopy strips?
Cheers,
Panagiotis.

A6M3 32 and 22 were Mitsubishi built so were the same as the A6M2 with the colours, Canopy internal was also blue black. Nakajima only built A6M2 and A6M5 and you can pick the difference between Mitsubishi and Nakajima in most photo's.
the cloth surfaces were also a light grey in colour different from the rest of the airframe.

See my finished build..http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/15-carrier-aircraft/finished-1-32-a6m2-model-21-zero-eiii-117-carrier-zuiho-carrier-aircraft-gb-34947.html

such that no more questions???, on the contrary, no one is more silly for asking but by not asking, is a Spanish proverb, but even when it is to delight the eyes with your work or other partner and learn step others reading it.

excellent job,

Hi all!
The 1/48 Hasegawa A6M2 model is finally done so I'd like to show you the last photos..However, the real challenge in my project is now starting.Scratchbuilding the Akagi island and the deck around is what I'll try to do! Let's hope everything will turn out good!
Cheers,
Panagiotis.
