Airman 1st Class
Hi all
Another from the series ended, aged Hasegawa, one of my favorite models, poor detailed cockpit, nice engraved panels, but finished has everything on its place. To my sorrow, invested time and efforts to fully equip cockpit, fully build interior and improved seat ... etc ..... all that once closed with canopy stays buried and almost invisible.
Colors ...... questionable as always. I tried to apply everything that I've found for early Zero, which means light gray (IJN). What ever is really correct, I wanted to have two approach, IJN gray / green (i just finished airfix one) and gray of the IJN. In addition, I tried to break up the monotony with various surface shades, frankly I would not bet the reality of the final look, but I like it .... The next one will be certainly more balanced.
Hinomaru and stripe painted, because my original cracked . Wash standard approach, artistic oil paint, Tamiya pastels, and Gunze varnish at the end.
Pictures, with greetings to all
At the very least, a comparison with his twin brother by Airfix (for comparison of shape):
