Japanese Group Build XV (2026)

Airfix 1:72 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero

Not to distract from @Samphoto’s tremendous accomplishment today, I need to acknowledge the FSM Brains Trust who really dug deep for me today, allowing us to:

  • Give our pilot more clearance between the ankles without any amputations
  • Seat the pilot
  • Prevent further damage to the joystick

It involved a little reverse engineering, a little materials science and the wife’s hair straightener, be we got it done…

Details and images here for anyone curious:

@Samphoto … I hear once one completes that impossible task, they get free Micro-Sol and Micro-Set for life. Not for any promotional reasons, it’s just that following the 29 hour ordeal they’ve probably absorbed so much of the stuff that they start urinating Microscale products…
