1/32 A6M2 Model 21 Zero EIII-117 'IJN Carrier ZUIHO' - Carrier Aircraft GB


User Name : Wayne Little
Category : Non Competing Judge
Entry : Mitsubishi A6M2 Model 21 Zero EIII-117 Flown by Lt. Moriyasu Hidaka
Kit : Doyusha 1/32
Accessories : Eduard Seat Belts...and some additional scratched up extras...

Ok, all done...scrubbed up ok for a 40 odd year old kit, kept the details to a minimum on this one, was more about showing the correct colours of the Zero,And...the Lighter grey coloured control surfaces.
The Zero is often depicted in a "matt" finish but was in fact Glossy in appearance, especially so on the carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Many period photo's clearly do not show this glossy appearance.

The first set of Primary pics...
