I haven’t posted on FSM’s Forum in over ten years, but it’s nice to be back!
Here’a my latest: Tamiya 1/48th Mitsubishi A6M3 Model 22 of the 582nd Naval Air Group, Buin, Bouganville, flown by Major Saburo Shindo in June of 1943. The kit is box stock except for Eduard Photoetch seat belts and Modelkasten filament for the antenna wire. Paint is Mr. Color and decals are from the kit.
OH MY WORD ! What a spectacular build.
TY for posting this and I hope we don’t have to wait 10 years for the next one…very glad you’re back as this is an incredable inspiration to us all.
Excellent looking meatballs you got there friend! Spot-on weathering…I like it. Thanks for sharing.
You sound like me Frank, I just returned to the forum after nearly ten years. I haven’t set up my bench to build yet, but I have cleared a spot and gathered the necessities. Looking at your fantastic work inspires me to get crackin’. Hopefully, soon…real soon.
Wow, you sure know how to make a hell of a re-entrance! That’s some beautiful work, I wish mine looked half as good. I sure hope you’ll be posting more.
nice build
Outstanding. What color did you use for the front ID strips?
If you are referring to the yellow strips on the leading edge of the wings, its Gunze Mr. Color 58 Orange Yellow.
Thanks for the kind words!
Gorgeous workmanship. That finish is to die for. I am also hoping you stick around and don’t wait another ten years before showing us another build. This is beautiful attention to detail.
That is one beautiful build! Amazing!

Beautiful work Frank. It looks great.
Awesome work. I love the weathering of your plane. I could see bit of red overspray on decals on the wing but that’s just minor. Looking forward to see more of your builds.
Welcome back Frank. That’s a beautiful zero. Thanks for sharing…
Awesome work. Love the attention to detail. The weathering is outstanding and the decals look painted on. Truly a work of art.
My, an excellent job on that one! More in the future we hope. [:D]
