ARFIX A6M2b MODEL 21 1/72 SCALE ZERO

Well all you Squadron leaders project "Titch" is completed.BigGrin
I thought it would be fitting to take the last photos on my AKAGI build
and I hope you enjoy them.

I have had enormous pleasure building this kit,more to the point I am amazed I could focus on some of the fine detail.Blink

The book recommended by MR T has been invaluable, BigGrin (AERO DETAIL 7)and will be even more so when I build the "BIG ONE" which I will be starting next week, I will be using the colour scheme on the "BIG ONE" as I have used on the " Titch", although more accurate colours than Airfix providedBigGrin

Comments and questions welcome.

Regards
MikeBigGrin Cool

Lovely aircraft,

dont think that I ever constructed a zero but as a child I loved to build airfix with my father, am looking forward to doing the same with my son when he is old enough to understand that not everything goes into the mouth!Love

Great job,

Ger
