1/48 Hasegawa A6M2 Model 21 Pearl Harbor Zero (Niihau Incident) FINISHED...

Joe, thanks for the advice.

It could very well be prep work, or incorrect prep work prior to painting that causes my peeling problem. I do wash everything initially, so I’ll try a wipe down with ISO prior to painting, to ensure all is spotless.

Yeah. I think the color is just fine. Fantastic build here Joe. Makes me itch to start my Zeros! =D I like how you’ve included a specific part of the deck. I’ve been mulling over a similar idea with any grounded planes I do. I wasn’t sure how’d it come out, but after seeing you do it a few times…I think I know just what to do about it now. =]

Thanks guys…yep, I like the color too. Nobody really knows for sure what color those Zeros were. Perhaps several shades…

Joe

Again I’m drooling over yet another build of yours Joe. Your artisitic abilities never fail to amaze me.

We so do appreciate your willingness to share your techniques as well.

Great job and craftsmanship. I could of takin this model and win best aircraft at the nationals in Columbus compared on what models I saw.

Looks very real and historic.

Thanks Silver and JJ. I made a google search?..wow!
