Pete J. Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ok, this beast is done. For those who have not been following this build it is ICMTH's 1:32 A6M2b Zero. Almost entirely photoetched and white metal. I scratch build a number of parts including the gun barrels, cowl flaps, spark plugs and other little bits. It took 8 months to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1969 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I love the detail. It is one of those models a builder would be crazy to put a skin on. That being said, my PE for the Cadillac is staying in the box for now. Your zero is a masterpiece,sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
