How do you hold them while painting? I notice some pre-painting on the sprue but some touch ups needed....yes?

Can't be easy, that's for sure. Well done Jesse!

I hold whatever is unpainted. Most of the time with these, I leave them on the sprue while painting and up as needed, yes. There are those two tiny doors next to the main landing gear, which were difficult to attach. I needed the teezers for that.

And the tweezer let go and the carpet monster is fed, oh sorry my bad, that's how it always ends for me.

Those little doors will be MIA if they go into the carpet. They are super small.

I had to repaint the D3A1 from Bandai to match the date, first coat. Painting the white stripes is going to be challenging. A6M2s have first coat.

Good stuff Jesse, and agree on the stripe!
Depending on how close it is to the tail and tailplanes, you could maybe mask it with 3mm Tamiya masking tape (the thicker stretchy stuff) or similar.

Great idea. I have some masking tape, very thin.

Well the carpet god didn't like my Me 262 gun sight, after about a week he spat it out.

But we're talking about Jessie's so that Japanese food. Much lighter on the pallet. NEVER comes back up.Well the carpet god didn't like my Me 262 gun sight, after about a week he spat it out.

The Doyusha A6M2b builds into a nice looking aircraft. Did have to do some minor trimming.

They are lovely little kits.

I didn't put the two with the rotating motors together yet. This was just a quick build last night before I called it a morning.

That's a nice looking build Jesse.
