1943 Japanese fighter pilot

from 1/48 tamiya A6M5/5a zero. The plane still in painting stage. I may have used too much clear flat it dose look a little frosty [:^)]

Nicely done! Good shading and highlighting! I don’t think you overdid it with the clear.

I don’t want to be picky, but I would want someone to point this out to me if I had posted this figure. Look at the right arm in the photo with the pilot looking at the viewer. Did you miss a casting seam that runs down the arm and on to the hand?

All the best,

Dan

must be my eyes going

Looks real good to me too. I like the heavy flat coat.

Nice job! The pics don’t show any frosting, so it looks ok.

Thanks guys

I see the seam too, but that’s not too big of a deal. You’ve done a very good job of painting him. Looks to me like you’re ready for even more advanced techniques. :slight_smile:

Yes, looks really good! The seam shouldn’t be much of a problem to remove and touch up.
