On mobile so the pics are small; for a moment there I thought "oh, that seam! No wonder he's frustrated!" but then I realized it was the antenna wire
It's great, man! Always preferred the white over the green for zeroes. I can almost hear "Sakura" playing in the background.

Had a good laugh with your quote Troy, we've all been there too!
I learned first hand with a F4 Phantom build last summer that building aircraft is no easy task!!!
I do like the job you've done on the Zero, certainly looks the part and I can almost hear TORA! TORA! TORA! being called over the radio

Troy, i think that zero turned out better than you give yourself credit for. And the fact you battled the kit with all the niggles gives you a plane that you can claim victory over and bragging rights. Good stuff man
As for model i think it looks awesome, and as someone has said already thats a great colour scheme and yourve nailed it.

Brought back from the brink of oblivion, it fought you all the way but you won. Brilliant job mate.

Great job done on the Zero.
It looks awesome
Im tempted to build one too in 1/48. Built one in 1/72 a while ago and I love this aircraft.
Cheers
Tommy

Well whatever was wrong with it certainly doesn't show. Super build and nice to see in those colours.
