Awesome repaint, ST!



So.. Does anyone know why the Zero's were always seen with paint chipped off!?

(yep, there is a reason... )

I think the biggest reason would be the inconsistent use of quality primers or lack there of in the late war productions. The other may have been older models that were originally the light grey green having low quality field applied greens over the lacquer finishes.

I wish this Zero was still available for purchase. Seems the transition from Shockwave to A2A has left out this beautiful Japanese aircraft.

Regardless, a fantastic repaint Rick! Mike

Thanks Mike
As far as I can tell the WWII Fighters bundle is still available. Its under 'boxed' editions, I think it is the best value out there these days.

I'm a great fan of your work since the CF2 era, glad to see that you picked up your brushes again for a Zero...!

Thanks:ernae:

 

[harleyman]

Do I recall that they just used any paint they had ,and it was cheap and incorectly applied so it always chipped off?

 

[Baron von Blutwurst]

Now that really looks like an A6M! Outstanding job m8.:ernae:
