So which captured Aircraft are you doing?

You may need to do some minor modification on this one...If I remember correctly I don't recall A6M5c version captured by the RAAF only the standard A6M5 model.

Good start mate!

The Academy's not a bad kit, only problems I found were that flat sliding canopy section, shallow wheel wells, and a slight fit problem at the rear fueslage/ wing join.

Got me itching to do my A6M5-k conversion now...

 

[Wurger]

I agree with Evan. But a nice work so far Sergio.

I have somewhere a pic or two for the Zero Model Model 32 tested in the USA. But I have to have an access to my computer firstly.

 

[destrozas]

I put a good photo to tell me that Zeke was I by what I see is more the type 52 another on the issue of the wings, exhaust and the times, as in saipan already operating in large numbers this appliance. (the type 52).

well after reading a bit through the forum I post something here that I began yesterday morning after my night shift at work I put photos of what I have done
closed and leveled plane, had not the right way and I had to give it remained a step in right at the top, finishing with glue to plug some pore that made ​​me more and seal the union,

This is the portion of that tube 0'5mm plasticard of that place you

and this is the engine still has more work but is the beginning

 

[Wildcat]

Excellent work!

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Some very nice work going on here.

I take it Sergio that this is an entry into the GB, if so could you please nominate the category you are entering in. I also gather that this is a 1/72 scale model, would that be correct. I have also taken the liberty of including the GB rules link where you will find the breakdown of the entry categories.

[Wayne Little]

Nice Sergio, do you want to make the modifications to this version of the Zero to make the correct model ?

If not, 2 simple things you can do, don't include the outer guns and fill those gun ports, and remove the small set of rails under the wings which were for small bombs or air to air rockets.

 

[destrozas]

Vic Balshaw thanks and sorry i didn't know already changed hope this good

wayne yes, I had not thought about the change it completely because I have no very clear pattern that is I think is the 5c but I can not dispel the doubts so it will eliminate foreign weapons (and did), and will eliminate the supports of the wings, guided me for photos

 

[A4K]

Nice work mate!
