Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero - 1/48 Tamiya

[TheTroyster]

Okay thought I'd try this again - slightly different plane and the Sprues are very different. Also bought a Mask kit - funny the box art is the same used for the A6M2.





Going to try my hand at this paint scheme.

That kit's very familiar! One thing I wish I would have done is re-scribe the panel lines using the raised lines as a guide before sanding the raised lines off. I would also keep the drop tank off until after painting and weathering. It's tough getting the airbrush around it when it's attached. I'm also not sure how accurate the kit painting instructions are, e.g. metallic blue interior...which I did. Good luck!

I am thinking of picking this kit up so I am interested in seeing how you do with it.

Have fun.

Sincerely,
