Airfix GB - Japanese Double Header

Post by Cimmerian »

Going through the stash I found these two.

As both the topside and the underneath are the same colour I figured I could save myself a load of paint stirring time by doing a double. :smile:

The Zero had a little more pre-build faffing about to do than the Val.

Then it's onto the easier stuff.

The new tooling Zero has a little filling required while the older Val is surprisingly good. Start painting the engines later then the fun bit begins. :smile:

Not really into Jap, and German aircraft for that matter, but seen as i have the Zero, i may as well buy the Val after your comments! Dinah out soon as well!

I have sanded the surface detail down as the rivets were a very similar to golf balls but it's a nice little model.

Thanks. Alan. I'm certainly pleased that my first builds got finished quicker than last year - That was August I believe. :lol:
